State honors Blue Ridge

Blue Ridge Elementary School will be recognized by the State Board of Education (SBE), the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the Educational Opportunity Gap Oversight and Accountability Committee (EOGOAC) June 6 in Spokane.

Blue Ridge is being recognized for narrowing the gap between the highest and lowest performing student groups. SBE, OSPI, and EOGOAC are recognizing schools who have demonstrated performance along a continuum of improvement, closing opportunity gaps in the Washington School Improvement Framework (WSIF) measures. Measures for the first year include both academic indicators (proficiency, growth, graduation rate, English language progress) as well as school quality and student success measures (dual credit participation, regular attendance, and ninth grade on track rates).
