Academics
Elementary programs encompass all ability levels from gifted to those requiring additional intervention assistance. A variety of after school enrichment programs are also available to all elementary students throughout the year. In addition to academic excellence in the classroom the middle school programs strive to develop positive student character traits that aim to develop productive community members.Advanced Placement programs are implemented in the areas of Social Studies, Language Arts, Mathematics and the Sciences.
The arts are a large part of the academic curriculum, from kindergarten through high school, and allow students to learn how the arts affect their everyday life. Programs are offered in music, business, family consumer science, foreign language, traditional and technology arts which are involved with the community, shows, contests and integrated into other content areas.
The intervention programs at the elementary, middle and high schools are designed to serve students who are at risk of not reaching or maintaining academic success. The programs provide additional instructional resources, both during and after the school day, to help students obtain the necessary skills to achieve grade level expectations.
Alternative educational settings are available at Maysville for students needing academic options. These include Post Secondary Options which are pursued by students who qualify to take college classes during the school day, Career Based Intervention (CBI) in which students attend regular classes during the morning and then are dismissed into a work release program in the afternoon, and Virtual Learning Academy (VLA) which is an off campus educational entity. All work is performed on the computer in core areas as well as elective classes. Upon completion students are able to receive a diploma from Maysville High School. Foxfire High School also provides an educational opportunity for at risk students to complete their high school academics.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
