History

Founding

Rio Rancho Public Schools was created as a K-8 system because no high school existed in Rio Rancho at the time the district was founded in July 1994. At the time high school students living south of Northern Blvd. continued to be part of the Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) and attended Cibola High School. Students living north of Northern Blvd continued to be part of the Jemez Valley Public Schools district, though most attended classes at Del Norte High School in Albuquerque, the only APS high school that had room for them at the time. Small numbers of students were scattered through nine additional Albuquerque metro area schools.
