Wilmington's Woburn Street School Named 2014 Commendation School

Wilmington’s Woburn Street Elementary School was recently recognized as a 2014 Commendation School by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Woburn Street School was one of only 42 schools across the Commonwealth that achieved this noteworthy accomplishment due to its high progress toward narrowing proficiency gaps for its students.

Commissioner of Education, Mitchell Chester stated in his letter to the school, “My hope is that your school will serve as a model to schools statewide and that you will continue to make strides to ensure that all students are prepared for success at the next level.”

In a message to the Woburn Street School Community, Principal Jeff Strasnick shared, “When schools and families work together in the best interest of the children great things happen. This is the result of dedicated teachers, hardworking students and supportive parents.”

“We are pleased that Woburn Street and all of our schools are working hard to address and close the proficiency gap and increase achievement levels for all students here in Wilmington,” stated Superintendent of Schools Mary DeLai. “Dedication to our students, commitment to continuous growth and improvement, and teamwork are keys to the last year’s successes.”
