Each middle school serves as a feeder school to one of the high schools: North Side to Anderson & Highland, East Side to Highland. The middle schools of Anderson Community Schools include the 6th grade and are viewed as a unique division in a total school program and through which students move steadily from kindergarten to graduation from secondary schools.

A broad program of specialized education supports the general education program, offers wide opportunity for exploration and perhaps, certain possibility of study in depth.
