The State Superintendent’s Award for Educational Excellence recognizes the 25 top-performing school districts in educational achievement in the previous school year and the 25 top-performing school districts in progress over the last three school years.
“Staff focus on instructional strategies and teaching through language and culture is leading to positive outcomes for our students,” said Superintendent Freeman. “A lens of cultural awareness and a rallying by staff for student success has led to continued academic growth since the pandemic,” says Principal Dave Sather
The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) evaluates school districts for the award based on the metrics of student opportunity and outcomes below.
Student Opportunity Measures
• Regular Attendance
• Kindergarten Readiness
• Highly Capable Program Participation
• High School Level Math in 8th Grade
• Dual Credit Participation Including Career and Technical Education (CTE)
• Dual Credit Participation Excluding CTE
Student Outcome Measures
• 4th Grade Reading
• 8th Grade Reading
• 8th Grade Math
• Ninth Graders on Track
• 4-Year Graduation Rate
The award criteria align with the state’s Annual Snapshot on Student Opportunity and Outcomes, which shows how individual districts and the state as a whole are progressing on key focus areas. While OSPI did not include access to dual language programming in the methodology, our school district received a commendation for the steps we have taken to provide students with the opportunity to learn English alongside another language––skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
