Middle School Course Offerings - Academic Program
Because children show a wide variation in their abilities to learn and in the speed at which they learn, special arrangements are made for individual differences. These arrangements are made with the help of teachers and the principal.
The school district is served by the Western Hills Area Education Agency in Sioux City. Their services to the middle school include school psychologist, speech therapist, social worker, audiologist, and other curriculum consultants.
The courses offered to students are those which are prescribed by the Iowa State Department of Public Instruction and also include additional courses of an exploratory nature.
