College Park Elementary Receives State Honor

GREENDALE, WI -- For the fourth consecutive year, Greendale’s College Park Elementary has been recognized by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction as a Wisconsin Title I School of Recognition.

This year, the school earned “High Achieving” recognition. Schools in the “High-Achieving Schools” category have achievement gaps that are less than three points between student groups or show evidence of reducing gaps; and demonstrate high achievement at the school level.

To receive this Schools of Recognition award, schools must meet state test-participation and attendance goals, and receive Title I funds based on state guidelines, which include having significant numbers of students enrolled from low income families based on federal free and reduced price school meal income guidelines.

Statewide, the 2019 Title I Schools of Recognition include 19 High-Achieving schools, 23 High-Progress schools, and 81 Beating-the-Odds schools; nine schools received special recognition for earning awards for five, ten, or 15 consecutive years. Data used to determine the awards is from the 2017-2018 school year.
