Mt. Scott Middle School (grades 6-9) enrolls up to 50 students and strives for an equal distribution of boys and girls. The school maintains separate classrooms for girls and boys in grades 6-8, and houses a small, separate coed program for ninth grade students. We emphasize the development of a small, successful community of learners. The curriculum addresses the needs of students who struggle in a traditional environment and may be academically below grade level. However, the school's small class sizes allow staff to develop challenging programs for students at all academic levels. Students also benefit from the services of a full-time counselor, tutors, and various volunteers. The school is located at the former Phillip Foster Elementary School in SE Portland.
