In a middle school, our sixth-grade students would have access to incredible opportunities that do not exist for them in elementary schools. It would allow for more specialization of instruction with teachers who are uniquely licensed and trained in content areas such as science, math, language arts and social studies.

Students would also have access to science labs, art studios, music rooms and other learning spaces designed to support their learning. The middle school model would allow more access for students to take elective classes, enrichment programming and differentiation for accelerated or below-grade-level students. The middle school model also aligns with state standards, which are written for students in grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12.
