Abstract：In the context of modern educational reform, the traditional closed management model of middle schools is increasingly unable to meet the holistic development needs of students. The concept of home-school-community co-education has emerged as a transformative paradigm, calling for the expansion of educational management boundaries beyond the school walls and the reconstruction of responsibility allocation among stakeholders. This paper explores the theoretical basis and practical pathways of expanding educational management boundaries and reconstructing responsibilities in middle schools under the co-education concept. Through a combination of literature review and case analysis, the study identifies the current limitations of middle school educational management, including the narrow scope of management, the fragmented division of responsibilities, and the lack of effective collaboration mechanisms. It then proposes a framework for boundary expansion, which integrates family education resources, community practical platforms, and school professional advantages, and a responsibility reconstruction model that clarifies the roles and obligations of schools, families, and communities. The findings suggest that the expansion of boundaries and responsibility reconstruction can enhance the effectiveness of middle school education, promote the all-round development of students, and build a collaborative educational ecosystem. The study also offers practical recommendations for implementing the co-education model, aiming to provide theoretical and practical references for middle school educational management reform.
