Abstract	The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics, core beliefs, and activities of successful middle grades programs. Schools in Florida are held to standards of accountability under the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), the Florida System of School Improvement and Accountability, and the Florida Secondary Schools Redesign Act. Few schools achieve 100% of NCLB standards and most schools struggle to meet the other requirements. Analyses of the beliefs and actions of schools successful under these mandates would yield significant findings, perhaps generalizable to other middle schools. (Author).
