About Becker Middle School

Becker is a neighborhood campus serving grades 6–8. School materials emphasize a respectful, responsible and present culture alongside a challenging learning environment.

Students follow a comprehensive middle-school schedule. Electives, honors options, clubs and athletics can change from year to year, so families should confirm current offerings directly with the school.

Becker is not listed as a district IB, STEM or performing-arts magnet.

How families get in

Becker is a zoned school. Assignment is based on the student's home address.

• Check the exact street address using the CCSD zoning lookup.
• Register through standard CCSD enrollment if Becker is the assigned school.
• Neighborhood or master-planned community names are not enough to confirm zoning.
• Out-of-zone access, if offered, follows current district Choice rules and campus capacity.

Zoning, capacity and enrollment options can change. Confirm current rules with CCSD and the school.
