Junior High Schools

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.
