MISSION STATEMENT
Vail Ranch Middle School is located in the southern part of the Temecula Valley Unified School District. Our students primarily live in single family homes with two parents. We have several families where one or both of the parents are in the military while other families live in the wine country. Approximately half of our parents commute to work and the other half have a stay-at-home parent. Our ethnic make-up has remained basically the same since we opened. We serve approximately 67% White, 18% Hispanic, 6% African American, 2% Asian, and 7% other. Of our English Language Learners, the majority have a first language of Spanish. Of those, about half are at a three level or higher for instruction. Besides ELL students, our school also provides GATE instruction for over 100 students in all three grades. We provide intervention assistance and instruction for at-risk students in all three grades. We have four RSP teachers and four SDC classes, one of which is the district’s middle school autistic class. We have internet access from all classrooms on campus and in our Media Center, Computer Lab, and Reading Lab.
