Walking distance from the Main Street Promenade in the Verrado community, Verrado Middle School teaches more than 500 students in sixth through eighth grade.
At the school, the faculty believe in building a strong school community to help every student feel supported so they can do their best every day. In addition to gifted and honors programs, the school also offers special education services to help each child make the most of their learning experience.
