Abstract

The nature of the middle school in the state of Washington and its conformance to the middle school concept was studied. Eighty-four of the state's ninety-two middle school principals reported on programs and offerings in their schools. The study indicated that Washington middle schools conform favorably to the concept in all major areas ex­cept grading practices and athletic programs. The schools recognize a developmental stage of transescence and minister to it through child­child-centered rather than subject-centered programs.
