For years, the State Board of Education (SBE), Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the Educational Opportunity Gap Oversight and Accountability Committee (EOGOAC) have collaborated on the Washington School Recognition Program honoring K–12 public schools across the state for closing opportunity gaps and for students’ growth and academic achievement.
For the 2023-2024 school year, Franklin Elementary School has been recognized for the following and will receive a banner to display at their school:
- Growth for students in Special Education
- Achievement in ELA & Math & Attendance
There are three routes for schools to be honored by the Washington School Recognition Program.
- Closing Gaps: These schools make significant advancements for all students or specific student groups in the area identified for improvement.
- Growth: These schools have at least one student group among the highest performers on at least 60% of WSIF measures.
- Achievement: These schools show high performance on at least two of the following measures: attendance, dual credit completion, English language arts (ELA) assessments, graduation rates, math assessments, and ninth grade on-track.
Franklin Elementary was also recognized as a 2022-2023 Washington State School for English Language Arts (ELA) Growth for one or more student groups. This consecutive recognition reflects Franklin Elementary’s continued dedication to fostering academic growth and achievement across all student groups. Franklin’s emphasis on fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment serves as a testament to the power of collaborative efforts and targeted strategies in driving positive educational outcomes.
From all of us here at Pullman Public Schools we extend our congratulations to Franklin Elementary!
