Description

Elizabeth Forward Middle School serves students in grades 6 through 8 with a strong team approach where four core teachers coordinate instruction, plan interdisciplinary activities, and share close insights so every learner is known. Students build essential skills in integrated language arts, math, science, and social studies, then expand their interests through the Encore program with art, family and consumer science, computer science, and technology education. Music is a centerpiece, offering band, chorus, orchestra, and general music alongside a wellness program that supports healthy habits. Guidance and academic support help students set goals, stay organized, and grow confidence, and students can stay connected through live morning announcements and school activities. It is a proud school community where learning and belonging go hand in hand.
