Norco Intermediate

Tucked into the horse-friendly city of Norco — where it's not unusual to see neighbors riding down the street on horseback — Norco Intermediate offers a solid middle school experience for families who love the laid-back, rural feel of the Inland Empire without being too far from the conveniences of the greater Riverside area. Scoring right around the 60th percentile across English, math, and science, it's a dependable choice for 7th and 8th graders making that important transition before high school. Families who are drawn to Norco's tight-knit, small-town character and outdoor lifestyle will likely appreciate the community feel that carries into the school as well.
