'''Central Middle School of Science''' is a [[middle school]] located in [[Anchorage, Alaska]], belonging to the [[Anchorage School District]]. It places a special focus on [[science]] in its curriculum. It consists of near 700 students [http://www.asdk12.org/depts/assess_eval/report_cards/current/700reportcard.pdf], and services the downtown and Ship Creek areas. Central has a specialized program from the rest of the district, which includes an emphasis on science in all classes. This allows the school to, in addition to its local service area, admit a certain number of students from other parts of Anchorage by lottery. |

==Demographics== |
|||
Central, like just over half of all middle schools in the Anchorage School District, has no ethnic majority. It is plurality white, at 47%. The school is also 16% Black, 12% Alaska Native or American Indian, 10% Asian or Pacific Islander, 7% Hispanic, and 8% Multi-racial. [http://www.asdk12.org/depts/demographics/ethnicity/Ethnicity06_07.pdf] |
|||
==Academics== |
|||
Central offers standard middle school courses in mathematics, social studies, language arts, and science. However, a special emphasis on science is put throughout the other "core classes", and studies in science tend to play a role in dictating the coursework in other classes. In addition to these classes, the school also offers classes in art, further science electives, foreign languages, and music. |
|||
====Teams==== |
|||
The school is divided into teaching units called '''teams'''. All students on a team share the same teachers for their main classes, and teachers on a team work together to create coordinated curricula. There are three 7th grade teams, and three 8th grade teams. The teams are all named after [[Periodic table|Elements]] on the periodic table. |
