Summit Elementary School Named as High-Achieving & High-Progress by Wisconsin DPI
Only 7 Schools Received this Honor Statewide
Summit Elementary School is one of only seven schools in Wisconsin to be named as High-Achieving and High-Progress in the 2020 Wisconsin Title 1 Schools of Recognition award from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI). Only 107 schools in the state received Wisconsin Title 1 School of Recognition honors for the 2019-20 school year. The Schools of Recognition award is presented to schools leveraging federal Title 1 funding to provide additional resources and service to economically disadvantaged students.
"Performance of this nature doesn't occur by accident. It comes from a dedicated and consistent approach to Tier I instruction, as well as targeted intervention and extension activities. It also comes from a strong commitment to the work from the teachers and the building leadership team. Summit's performance is in unrivaled territory," stated Superintendent Dr. Roger Rindo.
Summit Elementary School Principal Brian Stuckey added, "This award is a true testament to the hard working and dedicated staff, students, and families at Summit Elementary. Everyone has a commitment to doing their absolute best for every child each day. Our families are true partners as we work together as a team to meet each child's individual needs. It is an absolute honor to be recognized for this prestigious award from our state for the third year in a row.
Schools that receive Title I funding have notable student numbers that come from low-income families. Schools that earn this recognition must also meet the state's test-participation, attendance, and dropout rates as well as additional criteria.
