RRCA is accepting applications for new students:
Rio Rancho Cyber Academy maintains a wait list for students who are interested in attending RRCA. The most advantageous time to start is at the beginning of a semester. Since our courses are online, when a student starts any other time during the school year, they are automatically starting behind the rest of the students. Once a student is on the wait list, the parent/guardian will be called to schedule a time for the prospective student to take a math and reading skills assessment. Finally, we will schedule an appointment to meet the student and the parent/guardian in an interview for acceptance to RRCA.
