R-5 HIGH SCHOOL

R-5 HIGH SCHOOL is a public high school that is part of the Mesa County Valley School District No. 51 school district, located in GRAND JUNCTION, CO with about 289 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 17 teachers, R-5 HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

R-5 HIGH SCHOOL, located in Grand Junction, Colorado, serves as an alternative educational setting within the Mesa County Valley School District 51. The school is specifically designed to support students who may not thrive in a traditional high school environment, offering a more flexible, personalized approach to learning. By focusing on smaller class sizes and individualized attention, R-5 aims to re-engage students and provide them with the necessary resources to overcome academic or personal barriers to graduation.

The school’s curriculum is centered on credit recovery and helping students progress toward a high school diploma at their own pace. Beyond academics, R-5 HIGH SCHOOL places a strong emphasis on social-emotional support, recognizing that personal challenges often impact a student's ability to succeed in the classroom. Through a dedicated staff and a focused, supportive culture, the school works to provide a pathway for students to achieve their educational goals, develop essential life skills, and prepare for life after high school.
