(No underperforming student groups and performance is in the top 10% of all schools in Illinois. This is the highest possible ranking!)
-Washington Middle School received a designation of “Commendable”
(No underperforming student groups, reflects strong academic achievement and growth, and is the second highest ranking a school can earn)
We are excited to have an exemplary and a commendable school in our district! The success of our students and the hard work of our staff should be celebrated!
Happy Thanksgiving to All! From your Lunch/Recess Staff here at Washington GSD #52.
