School Profile
Broomfield Heights Middle School, a neighborhood school serving grades 6-8, opened in 1983 with specific design characteristics that allow students to be part of a smaller "team" within the school. BHMS is a unique middle school because it promotes the middle school priorities of interdisciplinary teaming, advisor-advisee classes, and a wide range of exploratory choices and extracurricular activities. An active and involved parent community participates in maintaining a strong partnership between the home and school.
Students are challenged to excel through high academic standards with an emphasis on critical thinking and exploration. In addition to the required classes of language arts, science, social studies, math, physical education, and health, students choose from a variety of elective classes including world languages, art, drama, music, consumer and family studies, technology, and computer education. Three levels of math are taught at each grade level. Our technologically advanced learning environment offers three computer labs, including a literacy lab, math lab, and instructional lab, as well as multiple computer stations in the Library Media Center.
BHMS meets the needs of its diverse student population through small group and individualized programming. English Language Learners receive direct support from the ELL teacher, native language tutor, and an after-school ELL homework club. Special needs students are supported through resource classes, multi-intensive support, and a SIED program. Competitions, enrichment projects, and opportunities for acceleration are provided for talented and gifted students.
