Middle Schools (5th – 8th Grade)
At 91吃瓜网 middle schools we thrive to have inclusive, identity-affirming, and learning-rich spaces where student’s voice is elevated and student growth is emphasized. In addition to core academic courses, middle school students participate in a variety of elective classes including physical education, dance, orchestra, media, and art. Middle schools use a positive behavior intervention system to support students in becoming independent in a positive learning environment.
