Four Federal Way Elementary Schools Receive Title I Improvement Awards

The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) has announced that four Federal Way elementary schools have received the state’s Title I, Part A Improvement Award for 2011. 

Adelaide, Camelot, Mark Twain and Panther Lake elementary schools will each receive an award of $5,515 to be used to support their continuing efforts to increase student academic success. The funds are provided through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), Title I, Part A.

The schools were selected based on students’ performance data on the Washington State Assessment.  To be eligible to receive this award, schools must meet the following criteria:

  1. The school made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for three years (2007–08, 2008–09, 2009–10).
  2. The school has been Title I-funded for the past three years (2007–08, 2008–09, 2009–10).
  3. The school showed improvement overall in mathematics and/or reading proficiency—preferably in subcategories Asian, African American, Hispanic, Native American, Special Education, ELL, White—and making significant gains and are closing the achievement gap.
