Twin Towers
named school in
good standing by state
Twin
Towers Middle School is no longer on the
New York State School in Need of Improvement (SINI)
List—it’s now a school in good standing, according to the
State Education Department (SED).
To be removed from the SINI list, a school must meet specific requirements called Annual Measurable
Objectives (AMOs) in English Language Arts (ELA), math and
science (in grades 3-8). If all objectives are
achieved, then a school has met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).
If a school meets AYP for two consecutive years in the categories
for which it was identified, it is removed from the
identified list and classified as a school in good
standing by the state.
