12 Delaware Schools Honored For Students’ Academic Achievement
Woodbridge Early Childhood Education Center has been named a 2022 National ESEA Distinguished School for the success of their students.
These schools will be honored February 1-4, 2023, at the 2023 National ESEA Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Additionally, Woodbridge will receive $11,500 as a financial award. They are also among 10 Delaware schools named a Recognition School for Excellence. The students showed exceptional growth toward meeting proficiency on ACCESS tests.
The nine other Recognition schools each will receive an $8,000 award, a certificate and a banner to hang in their building. Two schools also are being recognized as Schools of Continued Excellence and will receive a certificate and a banner.
Schools of Continued Excellence are schools that have qualified as a Recognition School for the second year in a row, so are ineligible for the Recognition award this year.
“Congratulations to our multi-language learners and the families and educators whose support helped them make the gains that have earned their schools this recognition,” Holodick said. “This is a celebration of their entire school communities.”
