High honors for five of our local Morongo Unified schools. Managing Editor Tami Roleff has the well-deserved kudos…
Five elementary schools in the Morongo Basin will be recognized by the county and state for their students’ academic achievements. Condor, Friendly Hills, Landers, and Morongo Valley Elementary Schools will receive the 2013-14 Title I Academic Achievement Award, and Yucca Mesa Elementary School will receive the 2014 California Distinguished School Award. To earn the Academic Achievement Award, 106 state schools demonstrated that all students have made significant progress toward proficiency on California’s academic content standards, and that socioeconomically disadvantaged students met their student performance targets for two consecutive years. The Distinguished School Award identifies and honors schools that demonstrated educational excellence for all students and progress in narrowing the achievement gap. The schools will be recognized in San Bernardino by the County Superintendent of Schools Monday, June 9, and in Irvine by the state Department of Education June 11.
