Six Wicomico Schools Honored with 2008 Maryland School Performance Recognition Awards
Four Wicomico County elementary schools and two high schools have earned 2008 Maryland School Performance Recognition Awards based on improvement from 2007 to 2008 on Maryland’s assessments.
“The hard work and the dedication of their teachers, staff, parents and communities are very evident,” said Dr. Nancy S. Grasmick, state superintendent of schools, in announcing the awards.
Westside Primary School in Quantico was recognized for overall improvement in Maryland School Assessment scores by its former students from 2007 to 2008.
Three Title I schools were recognized for subgroup improvement. These schools were Charles H. Chipman Elementary and Pinehurst Elementary in Salisbury, and Northwestern Elementary in Mardela Springs. Each Title I school will receive a $5,533.93 award for the school to use to continue improving.
At the high school level, schools are recognized when their students have made improvements among subgroups on the High School Assessments (HSAs) from 2007 to 2008. Parkside High School and James M. Bennett High School have received state recognition for subgroup improvements.

Good for these schools. In times where schools get trashed in the media, it is nice to know that they are recognized for doing a great job.
Interesting how this post had no comments. If it was something about the inauguration, would have been a 100.
