2023-24 WA State School Recognition Program by Spokane Schools
Schools can be recognized in three categories: Closing Gaps, Growth, and Achievement.
Closing Gaps indicate that a school has made significant progress in areas identified for improvement, such as assessment scores, English learn progress, or graduation rates.
Growth evaluates that at least one student group at the school has shown some of the state’s largest annual gains across multiple measures, such as attendance, assessment scores, English learner progress, graduation rates, or the percentage of ninth graders who successfully earned all their attempted credits.
Schools recognized for Achievement have the state's highest performance in at least two key areas, including attendance, dual credit completion, assessment scores in English language arts or math, graduation rates, or ninth-grade credit attainment, and are above average across all reportable student groups on the 2025 Washington School Improvement Framework.
The Washington State School Recognition Program is a joint effort between 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.
