Five Shoreline Schools win state's highest honor

Five Shoreline schools are 2013 Washington Achievement Award winners. Winners were announced Wednesday, April 16 by State Superintendent Randy Dorn and State Board of Education Chair Dr. Kristina Mayer.

The Washington Achievement Award is sponsored by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education. Award winners are selected using the state’s Accountability Index and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Flexibility Waiver.

“It is important that we use the revised Achievement Index to not only provide feedback to schools and districts on their progress, but also to identify schools with exemplary student performance,” said Mayer. “These awards shine the light on what is working well in schools across Washington.”

Shoreline Schools were recognized as top performers in these categories:

Overall Excellence: Lake Forest Park

High Progress: Syre

Reading Growth:

Highland Terrace, Lake Forest Park, Meridian Park, Syre

Math Growth: Highland Terrace, Lake Forest Park

English Language Acquisition: Shorecrest

The award-winning schools will be honored at a ceremony on April 24 at Timberline High School in Lacey.
