SCHOOL PROFILE

Bailey Middle School is beginning its seventh year and has generated a reputation of high student achievement. We are

currently rated as a School of Excellence.

Bailey has a diverse student and staff population. Bailey currently has 24% of our students receiving free and lunch,

which is the same as it was last year. We currently have 1,503 students, which is made up of 79% White, 10% African

American, 7% Multi-Racial, 2% Native American, 2% Asian. In addition, 7% of our population is Hispanic, 8% receive EC

services, and 24% are enrolled in the talent development program. Our population is continually changing and we are

tailoring our program to address the needs of our diverse population.

In the past six years, our students have experienced high levels of academic growth and high proficiency rates. Our

school composite has improved, and this year we became recognized as a High Growth Honor School of Excellence. Two years

ago, we were honored to be accessed by a SQR (School Quality Review) team, which rated our program as well-developed. We

did receive feedback that we need to improve the differentiation and rigor within our program. As a result, we created a SIP

goal based on increasing our ability to effectively differentiate instruction in support of increased achievement. We embrace

our achievements and look forward to building on our successes in all areas.

We have tremendous support from the community. We have a strong PTSA that contributes to the many opportunities

offered at our school.

Bailey Middle has an array of extra-curricular activities. We have very successful athletic teams and strong support for

their programs. We offer during, before, and after school clubs and co-curricular activities such as National Junior Honor

Society, Math Counts, Builders Club, Battle of the Books, and many others.

Though we are doing well as a school, and improving each year, we still have academic challenges that we hope to

overcome. High academic achievement for all students is our primary focus.
