-169 Wisconsin schools have been named Wisconsin Title I Schools of Recognition.The 169 public schools all have two things in common: high levels of poverty and remarkable successes in educating their students. They are Wisconsin Title I Schools of Recognition for the 2015-16 school year. "Congratulations to these schools. They are examples of the academic success we need in all of our schools to close achievement gaps," said State Superintendent Tony Evers.
The Wisconsin Title I School of Recognition awards highlight schools that have demonstrated success in educating students from low-income families. To be eligible, schools must receive federal Title I funding to provide services to large numbers or high percentages of economically disadvantaged children and meet other achievement criteria.
Some local schools receiving the award include the Granton Elementary School for being a High Progress School and Greenwood Elementary for being a High Progress School. Abbotsford Middle and High School was selected as a Beating-the-Odds School. Loyal Elementary School was also selected as a Beating-the-Odds School and Owen-Withee Elementary School was selected as a Beating-the-Odds School.
