Rumble Academy of Warner Robins High School

Rumble Academy of Warner Robins High School

The Rumble Academy of Warner Robins High School was developed and implemented in the 2005-06 school year exclusively for the first time ninth grade students of Warner Robins High School. On it�s own campus, it is designed as a small learning community to improve the success of students as they transition to high school. Research shows that students in such small learning communities have better attendance records, fewer discipline problems and more academic success. Students are better known and better guided by school officials. They report feeling more nurtured and more engaged with their school and their teachers. Teachers also experience greater satisfaction teaching in smaller learning environments.
