  Congratulations to Belton Middle School, Anderson Two, our National School to Watch from South Carolina for 2009. They join Blythewood Middle School, Richland Two and Palmetto Middle School, Anderson One, our two 2008 National Schools to Watch, and Lugoff-Elgin Middle School, our 2007 National School to Watch from South Carolina. Our state's Schools to Watch program is sponsored by SCASCD, SCMSA, SCASA, SCDE, and the SC Middle Grades Project and seeks to recognize schools on the trajectory toward excellence through application of National Schools to Watch criteria developed by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform. Schools measure their progress using criteria from three domains: Academic Excellence, Developmental Responsiveness and Social Equity built upon a foundation of supportive norms, structures and organizational arrangements that support and sustain their trajectory toward excellence.
