Welcome to the Rex Mill Middle STEM School Magnet Program!

We are so excited to welcome our new scholars to the University of Rex Mill Middle STEM School Magnet Program for the 2024-2025 school year!

Our Approach:  

Rex Mill Middle STEM School's approach is to integrate Science, Technology, Engineering and Math with an appreciation of the arts into all aspects of learning, including reading, writing and social studies.  All of our students are actively engaged in hands-on-science and math activities in their classrooms, which are supported by our innovative resource labs.  Through these hands-on experiences, our students consistently develop skills in problem solving, critical thinking and collaborating with peers.
