Basalt Middle School serves grades 6 through 8 with a steady focus on reading, writing, math reasoning, lab based science, and social studies inquiry. Students shape their schedules with specials such as Band, Choir, Art, STEM, PE, and Spanish Language Arts, building both skill and confidence. STEM projects highlight design challenges and data collection, while music ensembles rehearse and perform throughout the year.
