During the 2022-2023 school year the Marlboro Middle School has been named an "Essential Elements School to Watch" and will receive it's award in Washington DC at the end of the school year. The building has been radically improved with a new track on the lower field, brand new music, arts and tech rooms, social and emotional rooms and even a "calming" room. The incredible administration and staff have been unfairly criticized in some of these reviews but their methods have paid off. Student scores are not accurately represented by "Great Schools," and may perhaps be very well outdated. The community was an old farming community that is transitioning and becoming more diverse. The varied cultures are welcomed into the inviting learning environment and encouraged to be at their best. A building and community that has transformed from the "Flintstones" to the "Jetsons" undoubtedly encounters some growing pain but the team of educators and incoming superintendent place this building squarely among the nation's top 350 middle schools. District wide there is a movement toward energy independence, greater learning opportunities through the creative modes of education delivery experienced throughout the covid period and an unrelenting effort by Principal Debra Clinton to create a measurable turning point for students to supercharge their desire to learn. This sins of the past, and they do exist, should not preclude the Marlboro Middle School from being recognized as a top ranked institution of learning. Apparently, nationally anyway, they already are.
