The school district consists of one special education preschool which has programs and services to several daycare and preschool settings, three preschools housed within the elementary schools, eighteen elementary schools, five middle schools, two high schools, one alternative high school which is housed in three settings and one vocational school where high school students may earn post high school credit during their high school years. North Middle School, located on the north-eastern side of the city, was built in 1960. Today, North Middle School has over 650 students. We have a large Native American population.
Every classroom has at least one computer, but most have more than one.
Every classroom is connected to the Internet and the school has three computer labs. WE have two Gateway Presentation systems and also have the V-tel set up in our building. The staff at North Middle School is highly qualified and dedicated to the students they are teaching. They are concerned for the academic, social, emotional and physical growth of their students. They remain positive with students as they work with some of the most difficult academic and social issues in Rapid City.
