Criteria for a Quality School Relationships are based upon trust and respect, and all discipline problems, not incidents, have been eliminated. All schooling as defined by Dr. William Glasser has been replaced by useful education. All students do some Quality Work each year that is significantly beyond competence. Students and staff are taught to use Choice Theory in their lives and in their work in school. Parents are encouraged to participate in study groups to become familiar with the ideas of Dr. William Glasser.
Students do better on state proficiency tests and college entrance examinations.
The importance of these tests is emphasized in the school. Staff, students, parents and administrators view the school as a joyful place. At a recent meeting in Los Angeles, the Advisory Board of Directors agreed that a rubric, which has been developed by Kathy Curtiss, Senior Faculty Member of The William Glasser Institute, could be a useful handout for a school staff to use to measure their progress towards becoming a Quality School.

They accomplish this by developing and implementing a major research validated project based upon the works of Dr. William Glasser.
