About Twelve Corners Middle School

Twelve Corners Middle School is located in Rochester, New York in the suburb of Brighton. Our school has approximately 850 students in grades six through eight, and we are the only middle school in the district. We offer a rich curriculum for our students with plenty of extracurricular clubs and opportunities in visual and performing arts, along with participation in intramurals and interscholastic athletics.

In 2006, the New York State Middle School Association honored us as a New York State Essential Elements School to Watch. We were re-designated in 2009, 2012, 2015, 2018, 2021, and 2024 and are very proud of our involvement in this program. 

We have high expectations for our students and an able student population with supportive parents and community. Our focus is student-centered and designed to develop the social, emotional, physical and academic needs of our children. Students and teachers are grouped on one of three homogeneous teams at each grade level, and most classes meet every day for 40 minutes during our six-day cycle. Our teachers have common planning times each cycle, and a school counselor is assigned to work with each team.

We promote positive behavior through our district-wide "Brighton Believes" slogan, emphasizing respect, responsibility, self-control, integrity, and kindness in our school community. Each fall, all of our 6th graders participate in an Outdoor Education Program filled with camp activities and team-building games. Our 7th graders participate in the Washington D.C. trip k in March, and our 8th graders enjoy trips with their world language classes to New York City (Spanish), Quebec City (French), and Stowe, Vermont (German). You can use our website calendar to track these events and many more throughout the school year.
