Growing in Educational Excellence

District 196 middle school students have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of subject areas through curricula designed to meet the needs of middle-level learners. In District 196, we have six middle schools, one of which is a STEM magnet school. The core curriculum for middle school students is closely aligned with state standards and includes math, science, social studies and English language arts. Students also study in a variety of elective areas beyond the core content areas, which are also aligned to state and national standards.

All curriculum is reviewed regularly through a districtwide curricular review process. We are committed to providing middle school students with the support they need to see the infinite possibilities that await them in high school and beyond.
