Six schools in Highline Public Schools are earning state recognition for student growth or academic achievement in the 2024-25 school year.
“Seeing our schools recognized across Washington speaks to the work happening in our classrooms every day. Our students are showing growth and that comes from strong teaching and support across our system,” said Superintendent Ivan Duran.
2024-25 Honorees of the Washington School Recognition Program in Highline:
- CHOICE Academy | Growth
- Hazel Valley Elementary | Growth
- McMicken Heights Elementary | Growth
- Mount View Elementary | Growth
- North Hill Elementary | Growth
- Raisbeck Aviation High School | Achievement
Schools earn recognition in the areas of growth, achievement or a combination of both.
- Growth celebrates the schools making the largest gains on multiple state measures, including progress in closing achievement gaps.
- Achievement celebrates schools with the highest performance in English language arts, math, graduation rates and other success measures.
Growth is based on one year of data; achievement uses three years to reflect sustained excellence.
The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) partners with the State Board of Education (SBE) and Educational Opportunity Gap Oversight and Accountability Committee (EOGOAC) to identify and recognize schools for the program.
More information about the recognition program and process is available in the press release from OSPI.
