Richfield Middle School - (612) 798-6400

Richfield Middle School is preparing young learners to succeed in a diverse and changing world. To schedule a tour with the principal, call 612-798-6400.

We are a 6th, 7th, and 8th grade middle school organized into grade level teams. Sixth grade students are on smaller, more nurturing teams; 7th grade students "loop" to 8th grade with the same team of teachers, allowing for more personalization and depth. Our current enrollment is about 860 students, and growing.

All students have 55-minute Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies classes daily. In addition, students all have a daily 45-minute Gifted/Talented, AVID, or Reading/Math extension class.

Exploratory classes are offered to each student at every grade, and include health, physical education, Spanish, art, computer skills, and technology, including Project Lead the Way (PLTW) engineering in 7th and 8th grade. Students take two of these classes in 80-minute blocks on alternate days each quarter. These opportunities broaden the student's perspective on the world of learning and expose them to new ideas and skills. Exploratory classes also serve to spark student interest in subjects that they may take as electives in high school.

Students may also choose band or choir as an elective class that they will have every other day all year. These classes include full-class instruction as well as small group lessons.
