Tenaya Middle

Tenaya Middle serves seventh and eighth graders in Merced, a Central Valley city that's growing steadily thanks in part to the nearby UC Merced campus, though many neighborhoods still face real economic challenges that show up in school performance data. Families in the area will find that Tenaya, like much of the Merced City Elementary district, serves a community where support at home and outside tutoring can make a meaningful difference in keeping students on track academically. Families who are proactive about supplementing classroom learning and connecting with teachers directly will likely get the most out of what Tenaya has to offer.
