Academics
The three grades that make up the Middle School (6th-8th) are taught by grade level teams consisting of a Science, Math, English, Social Studies, and Special Education Teacher. The students also receive instruction from Special Subjects such as Business and Art.
Due to budget cuts from the Morrisville School District's School Board, Advanced Placement (AP) classes are not offered, and Honor's classes are available in English only.
Similarly, the school no longer functions as a separate entity from the elementary school: Third, fourth, and fifth grades, though primary education levels, have been moved to the same building as the secondary education building, making Morrisville Middle/Senior High School a 3rd-12th grade institution.
At the High School level the 9th Grade Academy functions similarly to the Middle School Teams but the students are in mixed grade electives. Upperclassman are all in mixed grade level classes.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“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)
“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)
