The Fort Madison Community School District is proud to be able to offer a 4-8 Middle School experience to our students. The 4-8 program is unique in that students get to come back to the same building for four years, but experience a whole new atmosphere catered to their developmental needs. 4th and 5th graders are located in a separate portion of the building known as the upper elementary east wing. While 6th grade students are in a separate part of the building called the north wing. Only at school-wide functions and assemblies do students find themselves with kids of all ages.

This separation helps students to develop relationships with peers their own age, learn based on their development needs, and transition with ease.
