Crayton Middle named 2024 School of Distinction by Association for Middle Level Education
August 12, 2024
Crayton Middle School has been named a 2024 School of Distinction by the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE), becoming the first school in South Carolina to earn the distinction. The recognition honors schools that demonstrate outstanding commitment to middle grades education and continuous improvement.
Crayton is one of 17 schools in the United States to be named a School of Distinction by AMLE.
“This recognition highlights the hard work and dedication of our students, staff and community and underscores our commitment to excellence in education. We are proud of this achievement and excited to continue inspiring and supporting our students,” said Crayton Principal Angela Burns.
To be named a School of Distinction, middle schools must go through a rigorous review process that assesses their implementation of best practices and continuous improvement plans. This process includes stakeholder interviews with staff, students and families to provide a comprehensive evaluation.
Crayton will be recognized during the AMLE’s 51st Annual Conference for Middle Level Education in Nashville, Tennessee in November.
