West Middle School for SY2016-SY2017. We continue to make gains in ELA and have new initiatives to increase our math, science and social studies scores.   At Paul D. West Middle School we are very proud of our teachers and feel they are ready for the coming school year and are prepared to give your child a high-quality education. As a Title I school, we are required to meet federal regulations under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) related to teacher qualifications.
