About Baumgardner

Serving Heights Families Since 1926

Welcome to Baumgardner! Baumgardner Middle School has been serving the citizens of Cleveland Heights and University Heights since 1926. Located on Monticello Boulevard in the city of Cleveland Heights, Baumgardner Middle School serves students in grades six through eight. Our motto is Baumgardner: Where learners become leaders! 

Baumgardner implements AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) at the seventh & eighth grade level. The power of AVID is the ability to impact students in the AVID class and all students throughout the campus. AVID has an effect on the entire school by providing classroom activities, teaching practices, and academic behaviors that can be incorporated into any classroom to improve engagement and success for all students.
