Here’s a breakdown of the 2022 “California Schools to Watch,” with our local honorees in bold: Newly Designated 2022 California Schools to Watch “These schools are outstanding examples of how educational innovation and a dedicated school community can keep students engaged and learning through a critical stage in their K-12 journey.” “Congratulations to these innovative and exceptional schools for creating systems that support the needs of all students - all while navigating extraordinarily challenging conditions during the pandemic,” State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond said. Statewide, 16 middle schools were newly recognized as California Schools to Watch in 2022, and another 31 were re-designated, according to a California Department of Education news release. Meanwhile, Santiago Charter Middle School in the Orange Unified School District, Thurston Middle School in the Laguna Beach Unified School District and Yorba Linda Middle School in Placentia-Yorba Linda reapplied for the designation, having demonstrated sustained progress. Three high-performing middle schools in Orange County have been recognized through the California Schools to Watch program, and another three had their status renewed for 2022.īernardo Yorba and Tuffree middle schools in the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District and Russell Parks Junior High School in the Fullerton School District made the list for the first time this year for demonstrating academic excellence, social equity and responsiveness to the needs of young adolescents.
