High School Removed From Warning Status

The Marlborough High School has achieved re-accredidation and has had a warning status removed.

"We are extremely pleased to receive such good news," said Interim Superintendent Dr. Steven Dlott in a press release from the district.

The New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC) Committee on Public Secondary Schools unanimously removed the warning status, according to the press release. The school has one remaining warning status of "Standard on Assessment of and for Student Learning" that the committee would consider removing pending more information on the implementation of school wide rubrics.

The committee cited changes to the delivery and flexibility of the English Language Learners program, the growth of STEM Early College High School Program and the use of common assesments and planning time.

The committee also offered a number of commendations to the school, including the work done to increase professional development time and a student advisory program.

"The continued accreditation and the commendations noted by the NEASC committee show our commitment to high-quality, comprehensive high school learning experience," said Dr. Dlott.

The accreditation process is undertaken every 10 years.
