East Ridge Middle School serves about 770 students in grades 6 through 8.

The school uses a team-based teaching method, dividing each grade level into three teaching teams so that a smaller group of students has the same teachers for English, math, science and social studies.

Each grade at East Ridge has its own guidance counselor and assistant principal who stick with the same student group as they progress through the school.

East Ridge offers extracurriculars to supplement the school day such as cross country and math team.

The principal is Marty Fiedler.
