As parents, you will be pleased to see the scores listed on our website. We are proud of our students' accomplishments and the focused efforts of our teachers to present a strong educational program for our children. Students at Bailey Middle School also have the opportunity to take two electives to round out their program of study. To meet the individual needs and interests of students, the elective choices consist of an array of music courses, foreign languages, visual arts, and vocational class offerings. Students who wish to take band, orchestra or chorus must audition with the teachers that facilitate that music program.
Students explore the world of work through enrollment in a variety of vocational classes.
During the sixth grade year, students enroll in an exploratory wheel of twelve weeks of computer keyboarding, reading and visual arts. At the eighth grade level, students engage in a semester course of Technology Education and a semester of Career Discovery. Other electives offered include reading for all grade levels, foreign languages of French and Spanish for eighth graders, and office assistants for seventh and eighth graders. Students must be on grade level for reading and language arts to enroll in a foreign language. With the increasing number of identified gifted students enrolled at Bailey Middle School, the Gifted Studies course is offered as an elective for all three grade levels.
