Academic success. High standards of personal conduct. Integrity, confidence, compassion. Working hard and playing hard. These are just some of the qualities Jean Ribault Middle School instills in our students during these critical middle school years. Where some see middle school simply as a transition between elementary and high school, we envision more. We expect our students to aim higher, discover new passions, learn to be self-reliant, and prepare to achieve their dreams.
