Cleveland Hill Middle School

About Us:

The Cleveland Hill School District is a small district located in the suburban community of the Town of Cheektowaga, a first ring suburb of Buffalo, New York. The western border of the district is the City of Buffalo. Nearly all the property in the district is residential with very little commercial and no industrial property.

The Cleveland Hill community is a small working/middle class neighborhood of solid starter homes and apartments, with a few upscale properties. Most homes were built during the post-World War II building boom, to serve workers in Cheektowaga's growing industrial and research development industries.  Many families have lived in the district for generations and their children are second, third and fourth generation Cleveland Hill district attendees.  Centers in the community are the school, churches and the volunteer fire department, in addition to libraries and Cheektowaga Town Park.

Cleveland Hill is a single campus district educating 1313 students with one elementary, one middle and one high school located on a 28-acre site in the center of the district.  In the last five years, the District embarked on a capital project investing $7.5 million renovating the Auditorium, a Distance Learning Room, technology and brick and roof renovations.  In addition, the District is continuing general health, safety and maintenance improvements.

The Middle School, grades six through eight, provides an ideal small setting for the delivering of educational services to this unique age group of learners.  The emphasis is on the development of the whole child to include academic areas as well as on personal/social growth during adolescence.  A strong feature of the Middle School is the close working relationship among teachers for the benefit of the students.  Each grade level has a teacher team to include a consultant teacher who works with special education students in a regular classroom setting.  Additional math and literacy support is available.  Exploratory courses and enrichment activities support and enhance the core academic instruction.
