Our School
Welcome to Fourth Avenue Jr. High — Home of the Falcons!
We’re proud to be a 6th through 8th grade campus in the heart of the Yuma School District One, nestled in the vibrant and sunny city of Yuma. With nearly year-round great weather and a close-knit community, Fourth Avenue Jr. High is a place where students thrive and feel at home.
Our school colors — red, white, and black — represent the pride we carry every day. Our uniform policy helps reinforce that unity:
- 8th graders wear grey polo shirts.
- 7th graders wear red polo shirts.
- 6th graders wear white polo shirts.
- All students wear black bottoms.
At Fourth Avenue, we believe in helping every student soar. With a student body of around 450, we’re able to offer a close, supportive environment where strong teacher-student connections are the norm. Our dedicated teachers, involved parents, and motivated students work together to create a culture of academic achievement, personal growth, and lifelong success.
Junior high is an exciting and eventful time for your teenagers. Our school offers a variety of extracurricular activities, and we hope students will take advantage of the opportunities. We offer band, choir, art, student council, yearbook, AVID, industrial arts, culinary arts, girls and boys PE, and athletics. Whether it’s in the classroom or through a club, we always have our student’s progress and best interest in mind. It’s a pleasure to teach the Falcons of Fourth Avenue Jr. High.
