They are one of only four schools in the state to earn the prestigious designation.
The recipients were selected by OSPI’s Title I, Part A program, which aims to provide every student with a fair, equitable, and high-quality education and close educational achievement gaps.
Eligibility for the award is based on three years of state assessment data in both English language arts (ELA) and mathematics for the past three school years. Schools must demonstrate student growth during those three years as identified through student growth percentiles and meeting or exceeding state average scores.
Title I, Part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act is a federal program that serves the needs of children who struggle to learn. Title I, Part A programs and services provide customized instruction to help children meet academic standards and take an active, engaged interest in what they learn and can do.
