Martin Middle School

In my last post I addressed the higher income base nodes for Joyner and Underwood Magnet Elementary Schools. Now I'll tackle Martin Middle School, a gifted and talented magnet. Students at Martin get to take 4 electives each semester while students at non-magnet middle schools get to take 1 per semester. Martin offers an amazing array of electives including four different foreign languages, modern dance, civil war history, mythology, and printmaking. You can view the electives catalog here. Martin is comprised of a 36% base population and has an F&R of 22.8%, which is lower than the WCPSS middle school average. Several low income nodes are bused in from downtown/SE Raleigh but the majority of the base assignment area is located in neighborhoods surrounding the school. You can see a base assignment map here

The following table shows all of the base nodes that are in the surrounding area. Again, this table is abbreviated and the full data can be seen at Martin
