Stafford Middle School is comprised of grades 6, 7, and 8. The 420 students at Stafford are divided into interdisciplinary teams at both the sixth and seventh grades.
The eighth grade is not teamed. This helps to transition our eighth grade students into the high school.
Through our teams, with cooperative learning groups, our sixth grade students transition nicely into the middle school environment.
With the encouragement of community involvement, plus district standards that promote "pilot interdisciplinary projects," the Stafford Middle School is well on its way to supporting the new state and national standards.
