Queen Anne’s own John Hay Elementary will be receiving a Washington Achievement Award for Overall Excellence, as well as a Special Recognition Award for high performance in math education from the State Board of Education this coming May!
These awards recognize top-performing schools across the state, selected based on statewide assessment data collected over three prior consecutive years and analyzed using a school Accountability Index (.pdf). (Read up on the methodology here). John Hay also received these same two distinctions last year. See previous award recipients (.pdf). From John Hay’s blog,
The Overall Excellence award places John Hay in the top 5 percent of all elementary, middle and high schools across the state.
Congratulations to all of the hard working teachers, staff, volunteers and parents that made this happen, and make John Hay such a special place.
