Eight high-performing elementary schools have been honored as Missouri’s “Gold Star Schools” for 2011, state education officials announced today. The selected schools are:
“These eight exceptional elementary schools have met a high bar of excellence, and it is our honor to recognize them statewide,” said Commissioner of Education Chris L. Nicastro. “This achievement is a credit to the students, parents and staff who have dedicated themselves to excellence in education.”
Established by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in 1991, the Gold Star program is designed to identify schools that are performing at a high level academically or making exceptional progress while serving a significant proportion of disadvantaged students. The state application requires schools to provide evidence of their success in such areas as curriculum, instruction and school leadership.
