La Rosa receives academic achievement Award
La Rosa Elementary School
is one of only 209 schools
throughout the State of California
to receive a prestigious
2010-2011 Title I Academic
Achievement Award.
Award winning schools
throughout Los Angeles
County were honored at a reception
and banquet on June 3.
“I’d like to extend warm
congratulations to La Rosa’s
administrators, students, teachers,
staff, and parents,” said
TCUSD Superintendent
Chelsea Kang-Smith. “The La
Rosa family has demonstrated
its exceptional commitment to
learning and has achieved impressive
results.”
The Title I Academic
Achievement Award is given
only to schools receiving federal
Title I funds as authorized
by the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act.
Title I is the single largest
Federal educational program
for K-12 public education;
funds assist schools in meeting
the educational needs of students
living near or at the poverty
level.
Of the more than 9,000
schools in California, more
than 6,000 participate in the
Title I program.
Criteria to qualify for the
Title I Academic Achievement
Award have become more rigorous
in recent years.
To receive this prestigious
award, a school must demonstrate
that all students are making
significant progress toward
proficiency on California’s academic
content standards.
Additionally, the school’s socioeconomically
disadvantaged
students must have doubled the
achievement targets set for them
for two consecutive years.
La Rosa Elementary School
serves students in kindergarten
through third grade in the
Temple City Unified School District.
For more information
about La Rosa, phone 26-548-
5076.
