New Windsor Middle School is committed to providing each student an equal opportunity for an education in an orderly environment where students develop a positive self-esteem and responsibility through high expectations of parents, teachers and themselves.

New Windsor Middle School was constructed in 1935 to serve New Windsor area students from first grade through high school. After Francis Scott Key High School was built in 1959, the school served as a community school for students in grades K-8 until 1970. From 1970 to 1994, the school housed students in grades 5-8. From 1995, when the new New Windsor Middle School opened, to the present, the school serves students in grades 6 - 8.
