My Students
Our school is a Title 1 school, meaning 90% of our students are on free and reduced lunch. While our school is full of diversity, our school is also the home to exceptional students ranging from mild to moderate disabilities. This year for Exceptional Children's week, our school is wanting to highlight on these amazing students that are different, yet still like each and every one of us. We are very proud of our Best Middle School in Forsyth County title and plan on maintaining that position through educating our students about the diversity they have the privilege of experiencing every day.
