School Description and Mission Statement 

This section provides information about the school’s goals and programs. 

This is the nineteenth year of the School Accountability Report Card that was established by Proposition 98, an initiative passed by California voters.  As you read the Report Card, you will gain a better understanding of Three R’s Academy as a school program with a record for improvement, a faculty that is professionally skilled and personally committed to meeting the learning needs of students and a student body which is enthusiastic and motivated to perform well.

 

Three R’s Academy serves 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students and is designed to meet the requirements of NCLB School Choice.  Students who attend federal program improvement middle schools are offered transfers to the Three R’s Academy.  The Academy is a school within a school concept sharing the campus of Stiern Middle School located in northeast Bakersfield.  Three R’s Academy offers a small school environment with a fewer number of teachers and block scheduling.  Students are challenged academically in a safe environment that fosters positive self-esteem  and social responsibility along with a challenging standards based curriculum.  Each classroom has 8 computers to allow for the infusion of technology into the standards based curriculum.  We believe that our students learn best when they are involved in the learning and decision making processes.

 

Mission Statement:

Three R’s Academy has high expectations, offers choice, and gets commitment and results.

 

Motto:

Respect, Responsibility, Results
