An advanced course is offered in mathematics for students who qualify. Seventh grade core teachers are dual certified and teach two subjects each. There are four academic teams, each comprised of two core academic teachers and two additional advisors drawn from the rest of the Prodell faculty. The seventh grade has an advanced course in mathematics as well as a full special education program. The eighth grade program more closely resembles the high school program.
Students are in advisories but each has an individual schedule without the team structure.
Each academic course is offered daily, and in addition, eighth grade advanced academic classes include Regents Course 1 in mathematics and Regents Earth Science in science. Earth Science meets two additional periods a week for labs, and these students take two fewer periods per week in the exploratory sequence.
