MEMORIAL MIDDLE SCHOOL

MEMORIAL MIDDLE SCHOOL is a Title I public middle school that is part of the ELY PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in ELY, MN with about 135 students offering grade levels from 6th 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 6 teachers, MEMORIAL MIDDLE SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. 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.

MEMORIAL MIDDLE SCHOOL, located at 600 E Harvey St in Ely, Minnesota, serves as a central hub for adolescent education within the Ely Public School District. Situated in the heart of the Iron Range, the school is deeply integrated into the local community, benefiting from the unique geography and culture of the region near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The school is committed to fostering a supportive learning environment that emphasizes academic growth, personal responsibility, and character development as students transition from elementary school to high school.

The curriculum at MEMORIAL MIDDLE SCHOOL is designed to meet the diverse needs of middle-grade students, offering a blend of core academic subjects—such as mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies—alongside enrichment opportunities that encourage creative and analytical thinking. By providing a structured yet engaging atmosphere, the school strives to prepare its students for the rigor of high school while promoting a sense of belonging and community spirit that is characteristic of Ely’s tight-knit educational culture.
