Welcome to Black Rock Middle School!
With the guidance of a highly talented and dedicated staff and the structure of a rigorous, multi-disciplinary curriculum, students enjoy an individualized experience that prepares them to advance through their schooling as independent thinkers and compassionate, responsible global citizens!
The Royals recently outperformed a field of 40 other teams to take home the tournament title at Great Valley Middle School’s New Year’s Spin Up VRC Qualifier! This is Black Rock Middle School's first-ever team trophy...the first of many to come!
Traditionally, LMSD school names reflect the history of their geographic location. The name Black Rock Middle School was chosen in recognition of the distinct formations of black rocks in the area that the Indigenous Lenni Lenape people used to make tools and other implements.
