Moving to middle school is an exciting milestone, but we know it can feel like a big leap for students and parents alike. That’s why Lexington Middle School features The 6th Grade Advantage. This advantage is a dedicated, supportive environment designed to give your 5th grader a smooth, confident start to their upcoming middle school journey.
Through features such as 6th-grade-only classrooms and floors and 6th-grade-only core classes, your child receives the benefits of a full middle school curriculum in a smaller, tailored setting. They get to navigate their new routine, build friendships, and grow in maturity in a space and at a pace that feels safe and encouraging.
Give your student the middle school start they deserve.
