| About Our School!
Welcome to the Watertown Middle
School, the home of 575 students in seventh and eighth grade.
While our main emphasis is in the academic area, our students
find time to participate in basketball, football, gymnastics,
volleyball, wrestling, track, and tennis as well as forensics
and drama productions.
In order to accentuate the
academics and keep the middle school philosophy at the same
time, we do have accelerated classes in mathematics and reading.
At this point, all students are randomly placed in language
arts, science, and physical education. Our team concept is
designed to have some lower ability, average ability students,
and gifted students on each of the three groups in the two
grades.
Academics
The Watertown middle school
offers several curricular opportunities. Our teaming concept
allows our school the flexibility in scheduling and tracking
student progress. We run an 8 period days with
approximately 42 minute class periods.
