José Martí Middle School
Mission Statement:
José Martí Middle School is committed to encouraging our entire student population to become productive citizens of the twenty-first century by empowering them with improved reading and writing skills, scientific inquiry expertise, mathematical analysis proficiency, and a broadened perspective on career clusters within a technology-rich environment.
Vision Statement:
José Martí Middle School is an educational institution that sets high standards for students, teachers and staff in order to promote a positive and productive school culture.
History:
José Marti Middle School, established in 1987, is located on 14.34 acres in west Hialeah, a city in the northwestern corner of Miami-Dade County. The assigned program capacity of our facility is 1,437 students. The three-story main campus building, which has 70 classrooms, is augmented with 23 re-locatable classrooms and a re-locatable full-service clinic which offers students and their families easy access to medical and/or social services and programs. The northeast boundary of the school is adjacent to Bucky Dent Park, allowing students access to the community swimming pool and tennis courts for class instruction.
After regular school hours our facility is utilized as a satellite center for a nearby high school adult education program. Our students have access to approximately 700 computer stations, including four computer/business labs, three technology labs, a library mini-lab, a science/social studies mini-lab, two reading labs, and numerous classroom mini-labs. Additionally, this sixteen-year-old school building has been wired to provide Internet and Intranet accesses to 95% of the classrooms. The school media center also houses a broadcasting studio with state-of-the-art digital equipment.
José Marti Middle School remains competitive with similar district schools in the areas of school growth, professional honors, grant funding, and faculty achievements. To begin, our school was honored as a merit school, was nominated as a County School of Excellence, and was recognized as a Red Carpet School. In 1999-2000 our faculty was recognized as having one of the highest faculty attendance rates in the District.
Currently, we are designated as a "B" school by the Florida Department of Education. Next, José Marti Middle School has received numerous educational grants (Technology Incentive Grant, USI Mini Grant, QZAB Grant, etc.) for the purpose of technology integration and curriculum enhancement. Individual teachers have also been awarded mini-grants for their respective subject areas; and several teachers have attained National Board Certification.
