South Orange Middle School and Maplewood Middle Schools both are on the New Jersey Education Department’s Focus list, which means they are among roughly 10% of schools statewide that receive targeted and tailored solutions to help their performance rise in certain areas (regarding SOMS and MMS, both have high within-school achievement gaps; Columbia High School is also a focus school).
Each year, the schools on the list are required to administer School Climate and Culture Surveys. The data gathered from the surveys will be used to inform decisions within SOMS and MMS. The surveys are available in English, Spanish and French Creole.
All surveys must be completed by October 20th, 2015. Click HERE to go to the survey. Once the link is accessed, scroll down and find your school and then click for SOMS or MMS to get into the survey.
