King Middle school offers many educational opportunities which also include:  

Math Education Magnet

• In this program, the District’s regular academic curriculum is combined with a special emphasis on mathematics. Students are engaged in a variety of activities in the areas of numeration, problem-solving, ratios and fractions, measurement, time and money, and geometry, all designed to expand and enrich the District’s regular math curriculum. The learning experience is enhanced with a high level of technology integration

Engineering Magnet

Gifted Education Classes

• King Middle School has self contained gifted classrooms at the third, fourth, fifth and sixth grade levels. The curriculum is accelerated, at least 1-1 ½ years, in all subject areas. This instruction is multi-disciplinary and is given by their classroom teacher. Projects and tasks involving higher order thinking skills are built in all units of study. We also have gifted cluster groups here at King. Differentiated instruction is provided in the regular classrooms in a cluster-group structure. Regular teachers in these cluster group classrooms have training in gifted education. The regular teacher is the primary instructional delivery source with the facilitating teacher providing support and a supplemental push-in/pull-out program. Facilitators meet cluster-group students at the assigned schools for two hours per week. The subjects of Language Arts, Social Studies, Science and Mathematics are enhanced through higher level thinking skills throughout the course of the year.
