EVELETH-GILBERT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

EVELETH-GILBERT JUNIOR HIGH is a Title I public middle school with about 160 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, EVELETH-GILBERT JUNIOR HIGH has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

EVELETH-GILBERT JUNIOR HIGH, located at 801 Jones Street in Eveleth, Minnesota, serves as a core educational hub for the local community within the Rock Ridge Public Schools district (ISD 2154). The school is designed to support the transitional middle school years, focusing on bridging the gap between elementary education and the more rigorous academic demands of high school. By providing a dedicated environment for junior high students, the school emphasizes both intellectual growth and the social-emotional development necessary for adolescents during these formative years.

As part of the broader district framework, the school strives to integrate traditional academics with a variety of extracurricular opportunities intended to foster student engagement. The facility serves a close-knit community in the Iron Range region, reflecting the values and educational goals of the Eveleth-Gilbert area. Through its commitment to a comprehensive curriculum and a supportive learning atmosphere, the junior high works to ensure that students are prepared for their future academic endeavors at the secondary level.
