Congratulations! Kent Elementary is a recipient of the 2011 Washington Achievement Award.
The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education created the Washington Achievement Award to celebrate the State of Washington’s top-performing schools and to recognize achievement in multiple categories. This highly selective award is based on our school’s performance according to the Washington Achievement Index, a comprehensive measurement of how schools in Washington are performing over time. The Washington Achievement Award is given to elementary, middle, high and comprehensive schools in seven different categories: overall excellence, language arts, math, science, extended graduation rate (high and comprehensive schools only), improvement and closing achievement gaps. Kent Elementary is being recognized for:
Overall Excellence – Elementary
This is the second year in a row that we have received this award. We will be recognized by the State during a ceremony on April 25th, when we will receive a trophy and another green banner to hang in our officeJ.
Congratulations to the staff, students, parents and community for this achievement!
