Middle Schools
JCPS teachers help sixth graders build the confidence they need
to take on middle school challenges. Teachers prepare seventh
and eighth graders for high school work.
But JCPS middle schools don’t just bridge the gap between the
upper and lower grades. Teachers know that the middle school
years are a unique period of personal growth. JCPS students discover
new talents, explore new ideas, and develop new skills not
only in reading, writing, math, science, and social studies but also
in art, music, technology, world languages, career exploration,
and college preparation. The CARE for Kids program teaches
middle schoolers social responsibility and encourages youthful
enthusiasm for making a difference in the world.
Students currently enrolled in the fifth grade at a JCPS school
will automatically be enrolled in the middle school that serves
their address unless they apply for an optional program, magnet
program, or magnet school.

Why do Louisville
parents choose JCPS
middle schools?
• Instruction meets each
student’s needs and matches
individual learning styles.

training in the most effective
classroom techniques.
• Schools offer a wide range
of sports, clubs, music
programs, and communityservice
opportunities.
• Before- and after-school
childcare is available for
students up to 14 years old.
• Team teaching (three to six
teachers sharing the same
