Johnson City Schools plans to officially transition to two middle schools serving grades 6-8 on Aug. 3, 2022, a change that school officials expect will help alleviate overcrowding.
âIt seems like quite a ways off, but itâll be here before we know it,â Todd Barnett, the systemâs middle grades supervisor, told members of the Johnson City Board of Education on Monday evening. âThereâs a lot of people doing a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes to make sure this happens successfully and we do things right by our students and by our community.â
Currently, students in the city system attend Indian Trail Intermediate School for grades 5 and 6 before moving to Liberty Bell Middle School for grades 7 and 8.
