Central Middle School of Science

Central Middle School of Science is a middle school located in Anchorage, Alaska, belonging to the Anchorage School District. It places a special focus on science in its curriculum. It consists of near 700 students [http://www.asdk12.org/depts/assess_eval/report_cards/current/700reportcard.pdf] , and services the downtown and Ship Creek areas. Central has a specialized program from the rest of the district, which includes an emphasis on science in all classes. This allows the school to, in addition to its local service area, admit a certain number of students from other parts of Anchorage by lottery.Infobox school

Academics

Central offers standard middle school courses in mathematics, social studies, language arts, and science. However, a special emphasis on science is put throughout the other "core classes", and studies in science tend to play a role in dictating the coursework in other classes. In addition to these classes, the school also offers classes in art, further science electives, foreign languages, and music.

Teams

The school is divided into teaching units called teams. All students on a team share the same teachers for their main classes, and teachers on a team work together to create coordinated curricula. There are three 7th grade teams, and three 8th grade teams. The teams are all named after Elements on the periodic table.

* 7th Grade Teams
** Mercury
** Argon
** Titanium

* 8th Grade Teams
** Cesium
** Nitrogen
** Carbon
