Several schools across Southern California ranked among the state's most distinguished elementary schools in 2023, according to State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond
such as assessment results, chronic absenteeism, suspension rates, and socioeconomic data.
Schools that ranked on the list demonstrated "excellent work" in one of two categories - "closing the achievement gap" and "achieving exceptional student performance." "It is my pleasure to honor and recognize these 356 elementary schools for providing outstanding public education and opportunities to students. Their innovation and hard work have helped to ensure their students can heal, recover, and thrive—even in the toughest times," Thurmond said.
Elementary schools and middle and high schools are recognized in alternate years; therefore, awardees hold the title for two years.
