Wea Ridge Middle School opened its doors to students in August 2003. Wea Ridge Middle is located at 4410 South 150 East, Lafayette, Indiana. The school houses students in grades 6, 7, and 8. The middle school enrollment, which is approximately 650 students, encompasses all of Wea Ridge Elementary School, all of Woodland Elementary School, and a small portion of Mayflower Mill Elementary School. WRM and its dedicated staff, set high expectations for all students as we prepare them for high school and beyond. Our diverse student body is provided a quality education through a variety of experiences inside the classroom and opportunities to explore their interests beyond the classroom walls. An emphasis on 21st century skills is enhanced through our 1:1 technology environment. The educational environment is enriched through our use of positive behavior support systems. Our students and staff strive to "Treat People Right and Do The Right Thing" each and every day.

Fay O. Wainwright donated thirty acres of land for the purpose of establishing Wainwright High School.

Wainwright opened its door for the first time in the fall of 1965 to students in the 9-12 grades. With the opening of McCutcheon in 1975, the Wainwright building became a Junior High, housing grades 7, 8, 9. In the fall of 1985, Wainwright became a middle school, housing grades 6, 7, 8 with the reorganization of the Tippecanoe School Corporation. Wainwright Middle School serves students in grades 6^th through 8^th from the Dayton and Cole Elementary School areas.

In 2015, Wainwright Middle School became part of TSC's one-to-one computer initiative in which every student utilizes his or or her own computing device.

Battle Ground Middle School (BGMS) is located north of West Lafayette and is home to about 760 students in grades 6 through 8. The school opened in 2008 to accommodate growth in the northern part of Tippecanoe County and continues to grow with construction to all three academic wings.

The school features a large cafe, two gymnasiums, many classrooms, 2 art rooms, a technology lab, and multiple science labs. Our athletic facilities include a football field with a concession stand and press box.

Through the middle school concept incorporating thematic instruction and teaming, BGMS offers a full academic curriculum at all three grade levels including English, mathematics, science, social studies, wellness, band, choir, family and consumer science, art, and industrial technology.

Our educational facility is noted for being a community school, which works with the patrons and members of Battle Ground and the surrounding area. As the one of the largest middle schools in Tippecanoe County, we are able to work with our students and families on a more involved level. Our school community works cooperatively through collaboration to provide a comprehensive educational program to meet the needs of all students.

Southwestern is set in a rural part of Tippecanoe County and is 10 miles southwest of Lafayette, which is a growing and thriving city. The school was built in 1956 as a high school, but the Tippecanoe School Corporation converted it into a middle school in 1985. The building underwent major renovations and improvements after a tornado damaged the building in 2013. Southwestern Middle School serves approximately 465 students in grades 6-8. The goal of Southwestern is to serve all students in a way that prepares them for their path to high school and beyond.

Many opportunities are available for students within the school day and beyond.  Literacy is taught across the curriculum, and the dedicated and caring teaching staff uses student data to drive instruction. Students are each equipped with Chromebooks, which helps Southwestern create a 21^st century learning environment.

Southwestern offers students a chance to participate in a variety of clubs such as Student Council, National Junior Honor Society, and Wildcats for Change. The Bands and Choirs also provide many curricular and co-curricular opportunities for students to develop their musical abilities. Southwestern competes in eight sports throughout the school year.

Above all, the staff at Southwestern understands its duty to provide an excellent education to all students. The staff is very student-centered, and students’ opportunities are at the heart of all decision-making. To that end, the staff is committed to building a rapport with students and differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all learners.
