OESD Celebrates Schools of Distinction
Five schools within the Olympic ESD 114 region were celebrated with a “School of Distinction” award for student achievement in 2015. Each of these schools was recognized for steady improvement on standardized state exam scores in reading and math over the past five years.
What does it mean to be a School of Distinction Award recipient?According to the the Center for Educational Effectiveness (CEE) website,“The Center for Educational Effectiveness (CEE) in partnership with the Association of Educational Service Districts (AESD), The Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP), Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA), and the Washington Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development (WASCD), have recognized schools in the top 5% of improvement for their levels. Elementary and middle schools are recognized for sustained improvement in reading/ELA and math achievement. High schools are recognized for sustained improvement in graduation rate over the past five years.”
