Witter Ranch Elementary School in Natomas was among 484 exemplary California public elementary schools selected as 2010 California Distinguished Schools, state education officials announced earlier this week.Witter Ranch is one of 17 schools selected from Sacramento County. The list of schools may be viewed online at 2010 Distinguished Elementary Schools – California School Recognition Program.
“It is an honor to recognize the schools, and the students, parents, teachers, and administrators who helped earn this most prestigious distinction,” said O’Connell. “These schools have persevered despite state budget cutbacks that have cut deeply into the budgets of local school districts.”
The 2010 California Distinguished Schools are geographically diverse with locations in small rural communities, suburban neighborhoods, and large urban cities. Most have significant populations of students living in poverty or learning English.
The California School Recognition Program is now in its 24th year and honors the state’s most exemplary and inspiring public schools with the California Distinguished School Award.
My kids go there and it is a wonderful school. Great job!
Just goes to prove you don’t have to go charter to attend a good school when things are done right.
