Capitol ceremony celebrates 2014-'15 Wisconsin Title I Schools of Recognition
The schools were recognized during a special Oct. 13 ceremony at the state capitol in Madison hosted by Deputy State Superintendent Mike Thompson. During the program, special recognition went to seven high-achieving schools and 29 high-progress schools. Eight schools earned both high-achieving and high-progress honors. Three schools earned the award for a 10th consecutive year, while 10 schools earned the award for a fifth consecutive year.
"NCES was recognized for 'Beating the Odds.' This particular recognition is meaningful because it is rooted in comparing the performance of our school against ourselves while still examining achievement scores in reading and math" said NCES Principal Wil Losch. "Social scientists understand that there is a link between poverty and low academic achievement. However, the NCES community is breaking that link and this honor is evidence of that. We received this honor because a growing number of families that are successfully working hard to provide healthy home supports and because our teachers hold very high expectations of themselves in regard to the school culture they build and the instruction design they lead."
This is the first year NCES has been recognized for this award.
