Despite being one of the lowest State funded districts in the county, the Redwood City School District has been able to achieve a great deal in the way of improving facilities, quality of education, and student performance. Just this past November, voters showed their support for continuing those efforts by approving Measure T - a $193 million bond that will be used to upgrade and repair schools within the Redwood City School District.
In honor of the start to the new school year, let's take a look at a few of the RCSD's other recent accomplishments:
-North Star, Adelante, and Orion named California Distinguished Schools
-Roy Cloud, Taft, Hoover, & Roosevelt given Gold Ribbon Awards - an award given to honor schools while the California Distinguished Schools Program is on hiatus as California transitions to new assessment and accountability systems
-North Star Academy recognized as having one of the highest API scores in the state (ranked #4 in 2013). It was also honored as a National Blue Ribbon School in 2012, a coveted award which over its 33 year history has been presented to roughly 8,000 schools nationwide.
-Seven district schools have API scores over 800 or 900: Adelante, Clifford, Roy Cloud, Henry Ford, Orion, North Star Academy and Roosevelt.
-Several RCSD schools earned the Kent Award for innovative practices from the San Mateo County Board of Education: Adelante, Clifford, Henry Ford, Kennedy, Hoover, North Star Academy and Orion.
-Adelante ranked 2nd for the Spanish Embassy's School of the Year in 2016
-The entire K-3 teaching staff was presented the San Mateo County Literacy award in 2011 for their work in using assessments to improve reading.
