The WRPS junior high schools are often referred to as middle schools. Teachers and administrators embrace the philosophy of middle level education, even though the grade alignment is 7-9. Rapid physical and emotional changes take place with the middle level child. As a result, several programs such as Peer Helpers, Peer Tutors, and alternative education programming are in place. As at the elementary level, there is a focus on differentiation of instruction to meet the unique learning needs of each student. At the middle level, teachers work toward facilitating academic, social and personal growth in students. |
