We Are JZMS!
At Jerry Zucker Middle School of Science, we are proud to support scholars and their families in developing the academic and personal skills necessary for college and career readiness, as outlined in the Profile of a South Carolina Graduate. Serving the North Charleston community, we offer both a zoned school program and a partial science magnet program designed to provide rigorous instruction in all core academic areas, while offering unique exploratory opportunities that foster curiosity and creativity.
At Zucker, we believe in the limitless potential of every scholar. Our decisions are driven by a commitment to rigorous instruction, meaningful relationships, and equitable support systems that cater to the diverse needs of all learners. It is our honor to serve this community every day, and we look forward to continuing to build strong partnerships between school and home.
Together, we will continue to fulfill our mission:
“Every Student, Every Day—No Exceptions, No Excuses.”

We are seeking volunteers for the 2024-2025 school year. We would love to have parents in our school to help in the lunchroom during lunches, in the hallways during transitions, and in the main office during the day.
