LaGrange Middle School is a middle school in the Arlington Central School District located in Lagrangeville, New York, United States, on Stringham Rd, off Route 55.

History

The school was built in 1920 as part of the "Arlington Union Free School District Number 7", which was the name of the district at that time, and utilized as a high school. In 1926, Arlington High School was granted a charter as a six-year high school, and its first commencement was held in that year, with only nine students graduating.cite web|title=Arlington High School History|publisher=Arlington School District|accessdate=2007-02-28|url=http://arlingtonschools.org/ArlingtonHigh/SHH.html|format=HTML] .

The current building has not changed much from its previous state as a high school.

Campus

As of now the building is home to LaGrange Middle School, and has remained since 1991. Although the interior has had undergone a massive renovation in the past years, the basic floor plan of the building has remained.

Team Plan

All middle schools in the ACSD utilize the "Team Plan". Once a pilot program in 2005, the program is now used in all schools, as a way of allowing students and teachers to bond, and forge a relationship for the three years that the student attends the school for. The same group of students would all be placed together and all have the same teachers throughout the course of the school. Each grade has there own Principal and guidance counselors, similar to that of which the House Plan encompasses in Arlington High School.

During the student's 8th Grade year; the school, like most in the Arlington District, send the students on a Field Trip to Washington D.C. where the students are able to spend 3 days & 2 nights and tour the area. Privilege of the trip is based on good behavior, and ACSD security is present during the entirety of the trip.
