Townsend Middle is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Public Schools of Robeson County school district, located in Maxton, NC with about 199 students offering grade levels from 5th 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.
