What are the qualities of a good school?
Educators everywhere have asked this question in hopes that the answers might help create an optimal learning environment for students.
Over the years, the ministry of education has done extensive research on the qualities of a good school in an effort to provide a conducive environment for learners all over the country. The research can be broken down into 9 stems of qualities of a good school. The 9 stems pave the way and give a clear channel to identify a performing school.
RUDAN JUNIOR ACADEMY did a summary and listed the 9 stems of qualities of a good school.
1. A clear and shared focus
Knowing the expectation or goal for a project can often mean the difference between performing poorly and performing well. It’s no different on a school-wide level. When an entire school knows and shares the focus, everyone within that school works better toward the end goal.

2. High standards and expectations for all students
If expectations are high, performance tends to be high as well. If a school wishes to set high standards, the management must set high expectations that are attainable to everyone. Our programs allow students to work at or slightly above instructional level—in challenging, but not frustrating material—in order to accelerate progress.
3. Effective school leadership
Anyone who has worked in a school understands the importance of having strong leadership. And strong leadership does not begin and end with the administration. A high-performing school has good leaders at all levels—principal, faculty, staff, parents, students, and so on so that teachers may lead others in implementing programs to support literacy development.

4. High levels of collaboration and communication
We can accomplish more as a team than we can accomplish by ourselves. And productive communication is the difference between a team that works well together and a team that falls apart. Schools that have a teamwork mentality and good communication measures—both within the school and as part of a greater community—tend to perform best. A school administration that supports students, teachers, working together to achieve optimal results for each student, and our strategy builds in clear communication every step of the way in the form of graphs, letters home, reading updates, personal interactions, and more, produces the best results.
5. Curriculum, instruction, and assessments aligned with state standards
High-performing schools use research-based strategies and materials. They also train staff to understand state assessments and respond appropriately to the results. We offer assessment tools that work well in conjunction with standardized assessments to determine which students will benefit from.
6. Frequent monitoring of learning and teaching
When teachers are able to closely monitor student progress, they can make the appropriate adjustments to ensure each student’s needs are being met. Successful schools incorporate frequent monitoring and offer support to students who need extra help. Progress monitoring is an essential component of the student's progress and as well as the school's results. Students working in the program monitor, enables the teacher to make appropriate adjustments to the student's high performance at school.

7. Focused professional development
Successful schools support staff in obtaining high-quality professional development.
8. A supportive learning environment
In addition to offering a healthy and respectful school climate, research shows that successful schools offer personalized instruction and small-group interactions to increase student-to-teacher contact.

9. High levels of family and community involvement
Finally, successful schools embrace the “village mentality” of leaning on family and community members to help with education. Support from parents and guardians is a vital part of school performance.
