Welcome to Southwood Middle School where we are SOARING to greater heights! 

   February 15 is a student holiday/staff development day.


Southwood Named “School to Watch” by National Forum

 

Southwood Middle School is one of two schools in South Carolina that have been named “Schools to Watch” by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform.

 

Southwood was selected by state leaders for its academic excellence, its responsiveness to the needs and interests of young adolescents, and its commitment to helping all students achieve at high levels.  In addition, Southwood was found to have strong leadership, teachers who work together to improve curriculum and instruction, and a commitment to assessment and accountability to bring about continuous improvement.


The “School to Watch” selection is based on a written application that requires schools to show how they meet criteria developed by the National Forum. Schools that appeared to meet the criteria were then visited by state teams who observed classrooms, interviewed administrators, teachers, and parents, and looked at achievement data, suspension rates, quality of lessons, and student work. Schools are recognized for a three-year period, and at the end of three years must repeat the process in order to be re-designated.

We are very proud of the hard work put forth by our students, faculty, and staff as we continue "Soaring to Greater Heights!"
