Carmen Middle School, South

Serving Grades 6-8 on Milwaukee’s Southside since 2017! Middle school is a transformative time for our youth.  At Carmen Middle School, South campus, school leaders and educators foster an environment that prepares our students for success in high school-academically and socially.

With an emphasis on college readiness standards for Reading, English Language Arts, and Mathematics, our middle schools hold high standards for instruction and additional support. Starting with our Bridge Program, we design a beginning-of-year experience to help elementary school students transitioning to middle school and upon 8th grade completion, rising 8th graders complete our Bridge Program to aid in the transition to high school. Students have access to Advisory, a daily period of academic advising, goal-setting, community service, or circle time to bond with their peers.  Intervention and office hours offer additional support for students who require 1:1 help outside of the classroom to make sure they stay on the right track.

Our middle school students are offered various opportunities for enrichment from electives to athletics.  At SMS, student athletes can explore seasonal sports like soccer, dance/cheer, and flag football.
