We are the Wolverines...
Wood River Middle School (WRMS) is located in north Hailey, Idaho, in the Big Wood River Valley. Our school was constructed in 1996, and a 19,000-square-foot addition was completed in 2004. Another addition was completed in 2013. It included classrooms for World Languages and Choir and a complete remodel of the Services classrooms and courtyard. We currently serve approximately 475 students, and our school is comprised of grades 6-8.
Our students start their first WRMS year attending the Residential Outdoor Environmental School to kick off their transition to middle school. During the overnight outdoor experience, the students experience many scientific and environmental investigations. They are housed in cabins with teachers and high school student counselors. This program is now in its 40th year.
Courses offered include Honors Language Arts, Advanced Math up to Geometry, Spanish and Dual-Immersion Humanities, and a variety of electives such as Engineering, Leadership, Robotics, Computer Applications, Orchestra, Band, Drama, and more!
We also have a well-staffed student services team that serves English Language Learners (ELL) and students with special needs. We have had excellent growth these past two years and are a Four (4) Star School - just missing five stars, the top rating, by three points each year! We are a school with high expectations for both academics and student behavior. At WRMS, our number of discipline referrals & fights has decreased dramatically & students feel safe.
