CENTENNIAL CAMPUS MIDDLE SCHOOL

Centennial Campus Middle is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Wake County Schools school district, located in Raleigh, NC with about 478 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 36 teachers, Centennial Campus Middle has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

Centennial Campus Middle School (CCMS), located on North Carolina State University’s innovative Centennial Campus in Raleigh, is a unique magnet school within the Wake County Public School System. Because of its location, the school maintains a close partnership with NC State University, which allows students to engage in a curriculum heavily focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and experiential learning. The school is known for its "Project-Based Learning" approach, where students often work on interdisciplinary projects that connect classroom theory to real-world applications in collaboration with university faculty and industry professionals.

Beyond its academic focus, CCMS is recognized for its diverse, inclusive environment and its integration of technology into daily instruction. Students have access to a variety of extracurricular activities and specialized labs that leverage the resources of the surrounding research park. By blending traditional middle school education with the intellectual rigor and innovative culture of the university campus, Centennial Campus Middle aims to prepare students for high-level secondary education and future careers in an increasingly technology-driven global economy.
