Plattsmouth Middle School

Rating: Great

Plattsmouth Community Middle School (PCMS) is a 5-8 building serving the educational needs of roughly 500 students. The approximately 55-member staff is committed to providing a positive school experience. Students receive a balanced curriculum of math, reading, science, social studies, physical education, health, and technology. They are also offered electives. Teachers worked in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to identify exactly what students need to know and be able to do. These essential outcomes are directly aligned with state and national standards and guide the curriculum, working to ensure an effective scope and sequence of concepts and skills taught. Teachers monitor learning through NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests and other district assessments. Many extra-curricular activities are available related to sports, leadership, civic engagement, and other areas of student interest.
