Rochester, MN - Persistence, dedication and commitment to growth pays off for Jefferson Elementary School which was awarded with Celebration School status from the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE).
MDE recognized 57 schools out of more than 100 schools in Minnesota with Celebration School status. Schools selected for the honor demonstrated both excellence on the new Multiple Measurement Rating (MMR) through student proficiency, student growth, closure of achievement gap and graduation rates, as well as exhibited success with initiatives that have led to positive student outcomes.
“We are very proud of the work that Jefferson has done to raise student achievement over the past several years,” said Dr. Brenda Lewis, Executive Director of Secondary Education. “Jefferson staff persistently worked to foster a learning environment of continuous improvement and achievement. The Jefferson families also partnered with us to ensure the success of all our Jefferson students.”
Earlier in the year, Jefferson was designated as a Focus School under the Federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The designation was based on student performance data from 2010 and 2011 that placed Jefferson among the ten percent of schools making the largest contribution to the state’s achievement gap.
“We are excited and encouraged to see the growth that has taken place with our students. We continue with our focus on school improvement. We are confident this focus will continue to sustain and increase our growth,” said Dr. Lewis.
