Academics

Academics at Edwards-Johnson Memorial Silsbee Middle School mark a critical phase in a student's educational journey, bridging the gap between elementary school and high school. This transitional period, introduces students to more rigorous academic challenges, increased independence, and opportunities for personal growth.

Middle school academics are designed to provide a well-rounded education that builds upon the foundational knowledge gained in elementary school. Students engage with a diverse range of subjects, including mathematics, language arts, science, social studies, and more specialized electives. As they navigate this multidisciplinary curriculum, they develop critical thinking skills and the ability to make connections across different subjects.

Furthermore, it provides a means for growth for personal development. Students navigate the challenges of peer interactions, social dynamics, and self-identity. Teachers and counselors often incorporate lessons on emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and decision-making, helping students navigate these formative years with confidence.
