Mauldin Middle School Named 2026 School to Watch
Mauldin Middle School is one of the latest five South Carolina middle schools to be named Schools to Watch® by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform.
SC Schools to Watch Co-Director, Dr. David McDonald, said, “These principals, teachers and staff members along with their communities have dedicated themselves to being strong examples for sustaining growth and development of their students. Schools are required to submit an extensive application, undergo a site review, and display a strong commitment to the 37 criteria for high performing middle schools identified by the National Forum. Their success has earned them this highly sought after designation. Each of these schools have made a commitment to the Schools to Watch Framework for continuous school improvement.”
To be selected as a Schools to Watch, schools need to be:
- Academically Excellent: demonstrating curriculum rigorous and relevant to the real world
- Developmentally Responsive: students have a safe, healthy and personalized learning environment that is responsive to the unique needs and interests of young adolescents
- Socially Equitable: all students have access to high-quality classes and the support they need to achieve at high levels
- Organized with Supportive Structure: shared leadership, collaborative learning communities, targeted professional development and effective organizational structures
Mauldin Middle School will be recognized at the South Carolina AMLE Conference in Myrtle Beach in February, and will be recognized again in Washington, DC at the National Schools to Watch Conference this summer.
