Welcome to Old Town Middle School:
We are located in Ridgeland, Mississippi, which is a suburb of Jackson, Mississippi. Our school was built in 1996, and it was used as an upper elementary and a middle school. Since the opening of Highland Elementary School, we now have only grades sixth thru eighth in our building. Our current enrollment is 689 students in grades six through eight. For several years, we have received a “B” rating by the Mississippi Department of Education. Our students also excel in a number of extra-curricular activities, including mathematics, music, arts, and athletics.
We are proud of our school family here at Old Town Middle School. Please call 601-898-8730 if you would like to tour our school or need more information.
