Pleasant Academy, Orange Grove and Zucker Middle School. Smartboards are standard equipment in every teacher's classroom. The new building gives the middle school the room it needs to serve its 850 students. Moultrie Middle School has a strong fine arts department with a large chorus and band. The new music rooms accommodate a 250- student chorus and band. The band room's ceilings are at least 18-feet high and acoustic panels cover the walls and ceilings. Smaller practice rooms are adjacent to the main band room and connect to the choral room.

Students are separated by grades in three color-coded wings. Each grade level has a separate staircase, assistant principal offices, computer labs abd teacher work and conference rooms. The building has a number of green features, including the use of natural daylight. The media center has large windows and a balcony that overlook Coleman Blvd. Teachers are able to hold classes outside the building in an outdoor classroom that was built as part of the Farmer's Market. The school's art room has a kiln area and movable, weather sealed garage door that opens up to an outside patio. The schools cafeteria has outdoor seating. The school can be expanded to add space for 300 more students.
