After finishing sixth grade at one of four Fort Lee area elementary schools, students come together for their seventh and eighth grade years at Lewis F. Cole Middle School. The school is located next to Sugarman Sports Complex near William Birch Park. The academic program at the middle school consists of Language Arts, World History, Pre-Algebra and Life Science for seventh graders with French or Spanish, Geography and Computer Applications offered as semester courses.
