State Schools Chief Jack O'Connell Announces
Title I Academic Achieving Schools
SACRAMENTO — State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell today announced 248 California schools will receive the 2004-05 Title I Academic Achievement Award. The list of awardees is attached.
"I am so proud of the students, their parents, and the teachers and administrators at all of the schools receiving this award," O'Connell said. "We ask all of our educators and students to work hard to meet the challenge of higher expectations, but these schools stand out for overcoming challenges and demonstrating student success. While students at these award-winning schools may come to school hungry, speaking a different language, or be the first in their family to attend school in this country, they are all making great progress toward a brighter future."
Title I is one of the programs under the federal No Child Left Behind Act designed to improve the academic achievement of disadvantaged students. The Title I Academic Achievement Awards Program recognizes schools that are demonstrating success in ensuring that all students are making significant progress toward proficiency on California's academic content standards. These standards define the knowledge, concepts, and skills students are expected to acquire at each grade level. In addition, the awardees provide support and serve as models for other schools, especially those identified for Title I Program Improvement. There are 5,840 Title I schools in California.
Federal law states that in order for a school to qualify for the award, it must exceed its Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) or significantly close the achievement gap among numerically significant subgroups for two or more consecutive years. California's program was designed to identify and honor Title I schools that have made significant progress toward meeting or exceeding AYP and have doubled their Academic Performance Index (API) growth target for two consecutive years. California also requires Title I Achieving Schools to meet a designated median API score in both English-language arts and mathematics.
Two schools among the 248 awardees received the National Title I Distinguished Schools Awards in January during the National Association of State Title I Directors in Atlanta, Georgia. Camellia Elementary School in the Sacramento City Unified School District was chosen for exhibiting exceptional student performance for two or more consecutive years. Palo Verde Elementary School in the Palo Verde Union Elementary School District in Tulare County was chosen for making the most progress in significantly closing the achievement gap among student groups. Fourteen among the 248 California Title I Achieving Schools were also chosen as California Distinguished Schools. Another nine were National Blue Ribbon nominees.
The 248 schools will be honored at California's Title I Conference, themed "Building Capacity for Excellence" on May 25-27 in Anaheim.
