A total of 12 schools from across state were recognized by Delaware Secretary of Education Dr. Mark Holodick for their students’ growth and progress toward English language proficiency.
The Woodbridge School District’s Woodbridge Early Childhood Education Center is among U.S. schools that have been named a 2022 National Elementary and Secondary Education Act Distinguished School for the extraordinary success of their students.
Woodbridge Early Childhood Education Center, which will receive an $11,500 award, is among 10 Delaware schools named a Recognition School for Excellence in Serving Special Populations for the growth and progress toward English language proficiency that their multi-language learners made during the 2021-2022 school year. The students showed exceptional growth toward meeting proficiency on ACCESS tests.
The nine other Recognition schools each will receive an $8,000 award, a certificate and a banner to hang in their building.
Two schools are being recognized as Schools of Continued Excellence and will receive a certificate and a banner. Schools of Continued Excellence are schools that have qualified as a Recognition School for the second consecutive year so are ineligible for the Recognition award this year.
“Congratulations to our multi-language learners and the families and educators whose support helped them make the gains that have earned their schools this recognition,” Dr. Holodick said. “This is a celebration of their entire school communities.”
