Alaska’s National ESEA Distinguished Schools
The National ESEA Distinguished Schools Program (formerly known as the National Title I Distinguished Schools Program) recognizes schools for their positive educational services. It highlights the efforts of schools across the country making significant improvements for their students. Because only two schools per state can be selected as a National ESEA Distinguished School each year, this award is an especially prestigious honor for the schools, staff, and students.
- Category 1 – Exceptional Student Performance for two or more consecutive years
- Category 2 – Closing the Achievement Gap between Student Groups
- Category 3 – Excellence in Serving Special Populations of Students
These Alaska schools have been recognized as National ESEA Distinguished Schools.
