On Wednesday the state DPI (Department of Public Instruction) issued a news release that,
Wisconsin School of Recognition awards go to 154 schools
22 schools have received award five or more consecutive years
Oh, we're sorry...did you think we were suggesting that Sun Prairie is one of the 154?
Ummmmmm..NO.
So...about 20% (80) of the state's school districts were recognized for one or more schools.
How did Districts of similar size to ours fare, you ask?
8 out of the 20 districts most similar in size to Sun Prairie have schools that are being recognized:
Beloit (3 schools), Fond du Lac (1), La Crosse (3), Stevens Point (1), Superior (1), Wausau (2), West Allis (3), and Wisconsin Rapids(1).
Schools throughout Wisconsin will be starting the 2010-11 academic year receiving honors for their success in educating students from low-income families, said State Superintendent Tony Evers as he announced 154 Wisconsin School of Recognition awards.
“These schools are committed to forging partnerships among teachers, parents, administrators, other school staff members, and the community to create an educational environment that supports children’s learning,” Evers said. “This award honors success and sets a tone for the 2010-11 school year: to start strong and accomplish even more progress in educating our students.”Yeah? So what. We have a brand spanking new Taj Mah HighSchool. It's not about how you perform...it's about how you look. And we've got the look, yo.
Didn't someone once say that it's not about the brick and mortar?
