Elevating Students to Master Standards!
Today, the faculty and staff of Eighth Street Middle School celebrated the dedication and teamwork it takes to support student growth.
We are proud to share that our GMAS scores in the Proficient and Distinguished categories increased by 17% last year. From 7th Grade Math to Algebra I and 8th Grade Science, every area played a part in helping students reach higher levels of success.
Here’s to continuing our mission of Elevating Students to Master Standards!#4theT
Strong communities build strong futures! 🌟 We are incredibly grateful to Cole’s Cakery for their generous donation to ESMS FBLA. Partnerships like these are vital in supporting our students’ success and creating opportunities for growth and learning. Together, we’re baking up something amazing for the future! 🍰🤝#CTAEDelivers

Thank you to all of the ESMS students and their parents for attending the Eighth Street Middle School Meet the Teacher Night.
It was so nice to see the faces of our ESMS students that we have missed over the summer, and we were so excited to see our new sixth graders who will now call ESMS their home for the next three years. The excitement of the students and the support that we felt from the parents was amazing.
Here’s to a wonderful school year!
