Mauriceville Middle School focuses on promoting a learning environment where individual differences are valued. The school offers a challenging curriculum that surpasses traditional textbook learning.  Interdisciplinary teams with a common planning period allow teachers to monitor the progress of individual students.  Students with special needs are served by direct enrichment programs, tutorials, a community mentoring program and an adaptive behavior classroom that assists students with conflict resolution and anger management. Students who need greater academic challenges have access to pre-advanced placement courses, gifted and talented enrichment classes and individualized programs.  Seventh and eighth graders can choose from a full array of electives including fine arts, foreign language, technology, computer literacy and others.

Counselors advance with a class through the grade levels, providing a high level of continuity for students and their parents.  The counseling staff sponsors parent meetings on topics of interest suggested by parents, in addition to orientations for sixth grade and career planning and course selection for eighth grade.

Strong extracurricular activities, academics, athletics, fine arts and intramural sports provide social interaction and growth.  A variety of student organizations including Student Council, National Junior Honor Society and give students of every interest an opportunity to participate in school activities.
