Abstract	Schools to Watch (STW) is an initiative of the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform that identifies high performing middle grades schools based on 37 criteria. Initiated in 2003, California's program, Schools to Watch--Taking Center Stage (STW-TCS), has designated 36 schools. This report describes STW nationally and in California, presents statistics on participating schools as compared to other middle grades schools in California, and summarizes program perspectives expressed by a random sample of 12 STW-TCS principals (one third of schools in STW-TCS). The report begins with a brief overview of the STW-TCS program. Next, quantitative descriptive analyses of STW-TCS schools and a brief description of the data sources used for these analyses are provided. Participants' perceptions of the program gained from interviews with principals are then presented. The paper concludes with a brief summary of the program. (As Provided).
