When it comes to school improvement planning and middle school redesign work, how do you know what your school needs? AMLE's Successful Middle School Assessment is a statistically validated tool schools and districts can use to drive meaningful continued improvement by analyzing staff, student, and family perspectives on the implementation of middle grades best practices. Though taking only about 30 minutes for staff to complete, the Assessment provides schools with detailed, anonymized results and recommendations for continued growth. For schools interested in continuing to evaluate and celebrate their school improvement efforts, AMLE's Schools of Distinction program recognizes and celebrates schools that are actively implementing the essential attributes and characteristics of successful schools through a robust application process, beginning with the Successful Middle School Assessment.
