Garrett County Public Schools operates middle school grade six through grade eight instructional programs for students in three schools. The middle school curriculum is aligned with the Common Core State Standards. The middle school programs place high priority on development of basic skills, as well as challenging each student to reach the maximum of his/her potential. The middle school programs provide students with activities designed to meet each child's physical, social and intellectual development.
The Garrett County Board of Education voted on January 12, 2021, to accept the Superintendent’s recommendation to remain in the “red model” in which students are learning virtually. Students will begin transitioning back to in-person learning when the Garrett County metrics are at 5% or less positivity rate and 15 or less per 100,000 for 14 consecutive days.
Anyone with a question or concern may contact public.info@garrettcountyschools.org, and you will receive a response.
