School Overview

Miami-Yoder Middle/High School, located in Rush, Colorado, is a rural public school that serves students in grades 6–12. As part of the Miami-Yoder Joint School District 60, the school functions as a close-knit educational community designed to meet the needs of a sparsely populated area. The school focuses on providing a personalized learning environment where faculty can work closely with students to foster academic growth and prepare them for post-secondary success.
