The Association for Middle Level Education is dedicated to helping middle school educators reach every student, grow professionally, and create great schools. We have established AMLE Schools of Distinction as a school recognition and improvement process that guides schools toward full implementation of research-based best practices.

The program is grounded in The Successful Middle School: This We Believe, the fifth edition of our landmark, research-based position paper which outlines the essential attributes and characteristics of effective middle grades schools.
