- Poe's student population expanded from 1023 in 1961 to over 1400 students in 1966. The first addition to Poe opened for the 1966 school year adding the seventh grade hall, back gym and associated classrooms.

- By the 1987-1988 school year Poe's student population had declined to 470. Barbara Nissen campaigned to add an ESL program at Poe in an effort to increase our student population.

- Sixth grade joined Poe in September 1991 adding 233 students increasing our population to 759. The addition of the sixth grade prevented the school from closing. We became Poe Middle School during 1991-1992 school year.
