Five Schools Receive TEA Recognition for Academic Performance
Five Los Fresnos CISD schools identified as Reward Schools were recognized by the TEA for High Progress at the Region I Education Service Center Thursday. Principals at the schools – Los Fresnos High School, Los Cuates Middle School, Los Fresnos Elementary, Olmito Elementary and Dora Romero Elementary – received the recognitions on behalf of their schools. The high-performing awards were presented to
Title I schools with distinctions base on reading and mathematics performance. In addition, high school reward schools are recognition with the highest graduation rates. The rewards were formerly called as Distinguished Schools. Texas will continue recognizing high performance with school distinction designations in performance and progress for schools meeting reward criteria.
