Three Shoreline Schools named as Schools of Distinction
Monday, December 7, 2015
Three Shoreline schools were recently recognized for supporting continuous improvement in reading and math achievement at their schools.
Briarcrest Elementary, Lake Forest Park Elementary and Cascade K-8 Community School were selected as 2015 Schools of Distinction.
They are among 90 schools in Washington honored with the prestigious designation by the Center for Educational Effectiveness, the Association of Educational Service Districts, the Association of Washington School Principals, the Washington Association of School Administrators and the Washington Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development.
Only schools in the top five percent of improvement for their level are selected to be a School of Distinction. To earn the recognition, a school must show high levels of improvement in state math and reading assessments over the previous five-year period.
“The awards are something our students, staff and families can take great pride in,” said Rebecca Miner, Superintendent of Shoreline Public Schools. “It is a reflection of our district-wide focus on continual improvement and supporting the achievement and success of every student in our schools.”
Briarcrest, Lake Forest Park and Cascade K-8 will join other Schools of Distinction from our region at a special awards ceremony on January 21, 2016 at the Puget Sound Educational Service District in Renton.
