Our five middle schools offer a unique program designed to help students make the difficult transition from elementary to high school. There are approximately 3,460 students in grades 7-8 with a student teacher ratio of 15 to 1. Each of the middle schools features an academic bowl team that competes in regional and state contests.
Each middle school offers a wide array of academic, music, athletic and art programs that best fit a student's needs in grades 7-8. Middle school students are assigned to clusters of 90-120 students with three or four teachers who share a common professional period in order to make special instructional plans for the group being served. Thus, middle school students come from neighborhood schools into small "schools within a school" where they make new friends and are supported by a group of teachers who know them and plan for their special needs.
