Middle States Accreditation Survey

Parents, we want to hear from you! As a part of our Middle States Accreditation Process, we need feedback from our parents. Please take 10 minutes to complete this online survey. The information will allow for our school to make changes so that we can continue to improve our school, as well as meet accreditation requirements. This component is critical for Frederick Douglass to remain an accredited high school in the state of Maryland. Our Middle States visit will next fall. Any parents who would like to be a part of the accreditation planning team, are invited to contact Mr. Saunders. Thank you, in advance, for sharing your perspective!
