City Middle/High School is a 7-12th grade public school that offers the International Baccalaureate's Middle Years and Diploma Programs. City fosters an environment of critical thinking and inquiry-based learning through student-centered education with a focus on environmental sustainability.

City is known for its culture and climate and actively promotes acceptance, tolerance, and belonging among our diverse student body.

Beginning in 2013, City began growing its student population in order to make our instructional programs available to a more diverse range of students. The school now offers an I.B. education to a very diverse student body in an urban setting. Our school brings together students from a wide range of backgrounds, races, religions, languages, and socioeconomic statuses and continues to achieve at the highest levels.

We believe our differences should be valued, celebrated, and used to help bridge gaps, rather than create them. City is more than just a school, it's a community that has been created by establishing relationships between students, faculty and staff, parents, and the neighborhood in which it resides.
