Richard Milburn Academy (RMA) in Amarillo is a public charter school specifically designed to serve students who may have struggled in traditional high school settings or who are seeking an alternative path to graduation.

Because the program is smaller than a typical public high school, it fosters a close-knit community where teachers can provide more individualized attention to each learner. Ultimately, Richard Milburn Academy aims to help students overcome barriers to education, earn their high school diplomas, and prepare for post-secondary success, whether that involves transitioning to college, vocational training, or the workforce.
