Sedgefield Middle School

The CMS middle school most commonly associated with South End and Sedgefield addresses.

Type: public
Grades: 6–8
Location: Sedgefield neighborhood, south of South End

Sedgefield Middle serves as the typical middle school step for families whose elementary assignment runs through Dilworth Elementary's campuses, though as with all CMS assignments, the actual boundary depends on address rather than neighborhood name. It's a longstanding neighborhood middle school rather than a magnet program.

Families relocating into South End's newer buildings should treat middle school assignment as a separate question from elementary assignment; the two don't always track together, and CMS boundary lines for middle school don't necessarily mirror elementary lines.

Before you rely on this

What to verify

Boundary (assignment) school — always confirm with the CMS locator using your exact address
Middle school assignment is separate from elementary assignment; don't assume continuity
A short drive from most South End addresses; limited walkability for younger students
Worth checking current CMS materials for any dual-language or magnet strands, which can change year to year
