Our History

Sierra Middle School is the only traditional middle school in the Lincoln Unified School District. We are a school of approximately 650 seventh and eighth grade students. Sierra currently offers students seven periods of instruction per day. Classes consist of mathematics, language arts, science, social students, physical education and two electives. Electives include but are not limited to band, chorus, orchestra, leadership, yearbook, journalism, technology, weight training, and Targeted Instruction electives.

Students have the opportunity as eighth graders to enroll in Honors Science and Honors Social Science classes. Qualifying seventh and eighth grade students have the opportunity to take accelerated math classes and because of our proximity to Lincoln High School, qualifying students take high school courses in mathematics. As a school we strive to have all programs be academically excellent, developmentally responsive, and socially equitable. Sierra Middle School accepts students from all school sites throughout the school district.
