Welcome to Bartels Middle School, home of the Warriors. Our school is built around learning, leadership, connections and laughter. The finest teachers practice their craft to ensure that 7th and 8th grade students move forward in life feeling confident socially, emotionally, and most importantly, ready to make future choices based on a strong academic foundation.
To help make informed decisions about the academic futures of our students we use information gathered from student performance reports. This year, our 7th and 8th grade students will take the Measure of Academic Progress assessment or MAP test in reading, language usage and math. Our instructional staff will use the results of these assessments to make informed decisions to promote student academic growth. Within the confines of the MAP student results is a lexile range. A lexile is a score that measures text difficulty that will allow educators and parents to find reading material that is appropriately challenging for each student. For more information on using lexiles please go to: http://www.lexile.com/findabook/StudentInfo.aspx
Bartels Middle School is a school where leadership is fostered within the student body and the staff. Together the school community is strengthened from the qualities of learning to lead young people through their transescent years. We lead by connecting with our students, their parents and the Portage community, working to keep a focus on what's best for our young people. Most importantly, we have fun while learning and our laughter is contagious. Come visit our middle school where staff is welcoming, teachers are exceptional and students always come first!
