Angevine Middle School is a vibrant student-centered middle school with an emphasis on academic achievement for all students. We serve grades 6, 7 and 8 by offering a rich and challenging academic curriculum that is comprehensively supported. Our talented teaching staff engages in data-driven professional learning communities that focus on student achievement and school goals. The diversity of our community is one of our many strengths, and we offer a multitude of opportunities for students to become culturally competent global leaders.
Angevine’s middle school structure supports student achievement in many ways. All of our students are on grade level teams supported by content area teachers who collaborate to provide an integrated approach to delivering standards-based curriculum. An administrator and a counselor who get to know the students and their families quite well over a three-year period also support each grade level.
School days are organized into a seven period schedule, with an additional extension period built in four days each week. On Wednesdays, we have a late start schedule, which allows for teacher collaboration and professional development. Students are welcome to attend before-school programming on Late Start Wednesdays, or they may come to school at 9:45 a.m.
At Angevine, we have school-wide expectations designed to provide an organizational foundation for high academic achievement. These include best practice school success strategies like the requirement that all students have an organized learning binder, utilizing two-column note-taking and learning logs, and school-wide standards for written work.
Our students receive a well rounded education, which includes participation in music, the arts, sports, and clubs. These school sponsored extracurricular activists are not only a creative outlet, but for many students are integral parts of their educational experience. Our high student participation rate helps to solidify the feeling of community unique to Angevine.
Angevine Middle School is a neighborhood school, and we strive to meet the needs of all families within the Lafayette community.
