Fuerza Community Prep

Rocketeers at Fuerza Community Prep are inspired to relentlessly achieve excellence. Through rigorous instruction, deep partnership with parents, and ganas, we unleash independent, critically-thinking, and socially-active citizens who transform themselves and their community. US News also previously ranked Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep in the top 20% of all elementary schools in the state!

Both our school's name and our 5th core value were inspired by the effort the community put forth to make this space a reality. The 'fuerza' and 'ganas' it takes to keep pushing, keep showing up, and to make the best possible future happen for our children is what makes us special here at Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep!
