Welcome to Ida B. Wells Middle School! We are a social justice schoolwide enrichment model (SEM) school that prioritizes providing a well-balanced, rigorous, and loving learning environment for students while also engaging and developing our students as change agents for our community.

Established in 2019, with a founding cohort of 6th-grade students, we have grown our school community by a grade each year and are now a 6th-8th grade middle school. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our school community. To our current Wells families and community members, thank you for your support, partnership, and trust!
