The middle school program covers grades 6 to 8.  Classes in this program are departmentalized, although students may find the majority of academic subjects are taught by their homeroom teacher.  For the elective and physical education classes, students are taught by other teachers and instructors and are inter-mixed across homeroom classes.  Students receive grades every nine weeks; final grades are issued at the end of each semester.  These report cards differ from the IEP progress reports in that they reflect progress in the curriculum across completion of classroom and homework assignments, class participation, projects, quizzes, and tests. Grades are based on performance within the modified curriculum.
