Awarded by the California Department of Education, the California Distinguished Schools Program celebrates schools that demonstrate exceptional academic achievement or success in closing the achievement gap. This year, 336 elementary schools across the state were recognized for demonstrating academic growth and fostering positive school climates, as reported in the 2024 California School Dashboard.
“Our students, teachers, and staff at Capri and Forest Hill have worked incredibly hard to build welcoming, supportive and high-achieving school communities,” said Superintendent Shelly Viramontez in a release. “This recognition is a reflection of their dedication and passion for learning.”
The awardees will be celebrated at the California School Recognition Program Awards Ceremony on May 30 at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim.
