Hadley Junior High Named a National School to Watch

Hadley Junior High School has been named a National School to Watch by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform for 2026-2029. This distinguished recognition is for 3 years and Hadley will be eligible to renew in 2029. Hadley Jr. High has been a National School to Watch consecutively since 2019 (2019, 2023, 2026). The designation is awarded to a select group of middle schools nationwide that demonstrate sustained excellence and effective school improvement practices.

The Schools to Watch® program recognizes schools that show strong academic outcomes, responsiveness to the developmental needs of students, a commitment to equity, and organizational structures that support ongoing improvement. Hadley’s continued recognition places it among a network of schools identified as models for best practices in middle-grades education.

Schools receiving this designation meet four core criteria: academic excellence, developmental responsiveness, social equity, and a demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement.
