In partnership with the Pennsylvania Association for Middle-Level Education (PAMLE), Kutztown University, and the Horace Mann Service Corporation, PA STW has been recognizing schools since 2006-07. Eastern York Middle School joins 38 other Pennsylvania middle grades schools previously recognized and still active in the STW process. Since the beginning of 2006-07, 62 schools across Pennsylvania have recognized. To put this honor in perspective, there are a total of 752 middle schools in PA.PA STW State leaders selected each school for its Academic Excellence, Developmental Responsiveness, Social Equity, and Organizational Structures and Processes. In addition, each school has strong leadership, teachers who work together to improve curriculum and instruction, and a commitment to assessment and accountability to bring about continuous improvement.The Schools to Watch selection process is based on a written application that requires schools to show how they met criteria developed by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform. Schools that appeared to meet the criteria were then visited by a state team, which observed classrooms, interviewed administrators, teachers, students, and parents, and looked at achievement data, suspension rates, quality of lessons, and student work.
