Myers Middle School is an integral part of the City School District of Albany's facilities project and its plan to improve middle-level education by providing all students with smaller, stronger and safer learning environments.

2009-10 enrollment

The City School District of Albany will transition to a feeder enrollment model for middle school students beginning in 2009-10. Students from designated elementary schools will be assigned to either Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School or William S. Hackett Middle School. Each school will enroll about 650 students. Students in the elementary program at North Albany Academy will continue on in that school's middle-level program, which will serve about 150 students in grades 6-8. Visit the District News section to read more about the district's new model for middle school enrollment, including neighborhood zones.

Students from the following elementary schools will attend Myers Middle School in 2009-10:

• Albany School of Humanities (ASH)

• Giffen Memorial Elementary School

• Montessori Magnet School

• Schuyler Achievement Academy

• Sheridan Preparatory Academy

Students graduating from Pine Hills Elementary School also will attend Myers in future years. However, current fifth-graders at Pine Hills Elementary will stay for sixth grade in 2009-10. Visit the Middle School Enrollment section for more information.
