Congratulations to Robert Semple Elementary School for being recognized as a Californa Distinguished School!The California Distinguished School Award identifies and honors those schools that have demonstrated educational excellence for all students and progress in narrowing the achievement gap. In order to be invited to apply for Distinguished School honors, schools must meet a variety of eligibility criteria including designated federal and state accountability measures , Adequate Yearly Progress, and the Academic Performance Index requirements. The criteria for school selection are based on the submission of an application, including a comprehensive description of two of the school's successful signature practices, an application review, along with a site visit designed to validate the full implementation of the submitted practices. Each nominee then receives a site visit by a team of educators. Schools selected for recognition are honored at an awards ceremony where State Superintendent Jack O'Connell presents each school with a 2010 California Distinguished School plaque and flag.
