RTR MIDDLE SCHOOL

RTR MIDDLE SCHOOL is a Title I public middle school that is part of the RTR Public Schools school district, located in RUSSELL, MN with about 144 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, RTR MIDDLE SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

RTR MIDDLE SCHOOL, located in Russell, Minnesota, is part of the Russell-Tyler-Ruthton (RTR) Public School District. As a key component of the local education system, the school is dedicated to bridging the transition between elementary and high school, focusing on the unique social, emotional, and academic needs of students during their adolescent years.
