Mark Twain Wins Prestigious Blackboard Award
Founded by New York Family's parent company, Manhattan Media in 2002, The Blackboard Awards accomplish two worthy goals: They help New York City parents make informed choices about their children's education, and they honor and celebrate schools, principals and teachers of excellence from all education communities—public, private, parochial and charter—and from all grade levels, from nursery school through high school.
 
We are one of the FIVE New York City middle schools (and we're talking public, private, parochial and charter) selected for 2011 to be formally announced at a November 28 event. You can read more information about the award at blackboardawards.com.
 
Fourth "A" in a Row!!
The NYC Department of Education officially released the annual Progress Reports and we're thrilled to announce our fourth consecutive grade of "A"! We're particularly proud of two facts. First, the Progress Report emphasizes comparisons (when generating a grade) to our peer group consisting of the top 25 middle school programs in the city based mostly on 4th grade test scores rather than to typical NYC middle schools. And even more rewarding is that the "A" is largely based on student year over year progress rather than our obvious strength of simply looking at current test scores (which are of course high as well).
You can view more information about the Progress Report at the
NYCDOE site.
And you can view the actual documents themselves in PDF format:
