We are very proud of our Commodores and all they accomplish. We serve about 450 seventh and eighth-grade students as they prepare for the transition into high school. Lafayette Middle School has high expectations for our students, but we know offering a variety of activities and learning opportunities grows a well-rounded young adult. We work with each student to ensure the lessons and coursework effectively deliver the appropriate level of rigor and support for each student.

The historic community of Oxford, Mississippi affords our students and families alike the ability to enjoy a variety of community events year-round. Our community offers farmers markets, art seminars, local forest reserves, and summer festivals, just to name a few. With a population of more than 20,000, Oxford has a crime rate that’s half the national average. You can rest assured your child will receive a quality education in a safe, friendly environment.
