The past three years has seen a transition to CCSSM by Redlands USD, and the middle school I teach at is no exception. Clement Middle School currently educates one thousand and twenty–seven, sixth through eighth grade learners in a Redlands vicinity. Although the school attends to learners of diverse backgrounds, sixty–nine percent are Hispanics, eighteen percent are Caucasians, and the remaining thirteen percent are Asians, Blacks or African American, and American Indian or Alaskan Native. About seventy–one percent of the student population participates in the free and reduced lunch program, and are of low socioeconomic status.
Students and Teacher Students in my classes resemble the school’s characteristics of diversity.
