NBMS Magnet Lottery Information

New Bridge Middle School's academic focus is on STEM content and skills. These skills encompass science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. These subjects are not only fascinating but also essential for building a strong foundation for future learning and career possibilities.

We are pleased to inform you that student selection for enrollment in NBMS is based solely on a lottery pull that is conducted at the district office. This means that there are no interviews or special academic requirements to worry about. We believe that every student deserves an equal chance to explore and excel in Strategies That Engage Minds (STEM)
