Fern Bacon
Middle School
Designated in 2010 as a Priority School, the new Fern Bacon Middle School is on course to reach excellence! Critical to our transformative work has been changing the school culture and climate, creating structures and systems and developing programs and policies to align our work and yield substantial results. Our instructional model is based on student achievement data, frequent progress monitoring and research-based school-wide practices that provide access for all students. In addition to Gifted & Talented (GATE) classes and Study Skills classes for our Special Ed students, Fern Bacon provides many enriching after-school clubs alongside our After School Program. One of our hallmark programs is the S.T.A.R. Academy, a Saturday program which provides six weeks of study designed to prepare college bound students for academic success. We, at Fern Bacon Middle School believe, “As a result of rigorous, high quality first instruction, evidence-based practices, and authentic relationships, students will achieve tremendous academic growth and demonstrate preparedness for college / career pathways.â€
