In related news, Arthur L. Johnson (ALJ) High School recently received re-accreditation by the Middle States Association of Commissioners on Elementary and Secondary Schools.

Accreditation is a self-evaluation process that schools and school systems voluntarily use to demonstrate they are meeting a defined set of research-based performance standards, according to the Middle States Association.

“The standards examine schools in a holistic way, supplementing student-testing data to provide a more complete measure of a school’s performance and chart a strategic and realistic course for continuous school improvement,” the Association stated.

“The re-accreditation of ALJ is a very welcomed accomplishment that offers a blueprint for our next steps in moving forward,” Superintendent Edward Grande said.

He commended Alessandra Bonacchi, Mary Dattilo and Mrs. Mary Pisciotta, as internal coordinators for leading the district through the process.
