SPS Shines in Washington School Recognition Program

Thirty-two Seattle Public Schools are being recognized by the Washington School Recognition Program for their performance during the 2023-24 school year. 

This program highlights schools that demonstrate exceptional progress in key areas of student success. It is a joint effort between the State Board of Education (SBE), the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), and the Educational Opportunity Gap Oversight and Accountability Committee (EOGOAC). Its purpose is to celebrate effective practices, support student success, and promote continuous improvement in schools across Washington.   

Receiving this recognition is no small honor — only 16% of schools statewide received recognition this year. As part of being recognized, schools will receive a banner.
