2010 Schools of Distinction

Ninety-three Washington schools earned status as Schools of Distinction for dramatic increases in reading and math in 2010. To earn School of Distinction status, schools must be performing at least at the state average performance in fourth, seventh, and tenth grade reading and math assessments, as measured on the Spring 2010 Measures of Student Progress and High School Proficiency Exam. Schools meeting this requirement were then evaluated on combined reading and math improvement over the last five years. The top five percent of the elementary schools, middle/junior high schools, and high schools are designated as a School of Distinction.
