Bear River High School

Bear River is a small, comprehensive 4-year high school that serves approximately 725 students in grades 9-12. Built in 1986, it was designed to serve the residents of southern Nevada County, in its rural setting. Bear River High School was recognized as a California Distinguished School in 2001 and 2009. During the last five years, the school has become a model program for Professional Learning Communities implementing teacher collaboration, pyramids of intervention, and common assessments. This year, Bear River successfully passed our mid six year WASC accreditation review.
