IDAPA requires that schools qualifying in two categories be brought to
the October Board Meeting for recognition. The two categories of
rewards are Distinguished Schools and Additional Yearly Growth. Each
state is required to provide both sanctions and rewards resulting from
AYP determinations. Theses awards provide Idaho compliance with this
requirement. A school must be in the top five percent of schools making AYP two years in a row and must significantly reduce gaps between subgroups in order to be recognized as a "Distinguished School." Being recognized for "Additional Yearly Growth" requires that a school make AYP for two consecutive years and also must have reduced the gap in at least one sub group by at least ten percent. Grace School District is please to accept this award. Eight schools in Idaho have been awarded "Distinguished Schools" Webster Elementary School in Lewiston School District |
