Academic Struggles
Several years ago, Rubidoux High School went through the program improvement process. It is now out of SAIT and has continually improved its academic programs and student achievement on California state assessments. Riverside Community College and Rubidoux High School have established a partnership to create RECHS ( Rubidoux Early College High School ). This school-within-a-school small learning environment has been highly successful with a virtual API score approximately 100 points higher than other high schools in the district. Teachers at Rubidoux are highly qualified and are being trained in project-based and problem-based targeted teaching and learning.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or struggles:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“The best chess-player in Christendom may be little more than the best player of chess; but proficiency in whist implies capacity for success in all these more important undertakings where mind struggles with mind.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
