Benjamin Rush Elementary is being recognized in 2009 as one of the 5% highest improving schools, over a 5 year span of time, in Reading and Math for the state of Washington.  What an honor! We are very excited for this remarkable progress in student achievement made through hard work and focused efforts in our school. 

Phi Delta Kappa of Washington State and the Center for Educational Effectiveness are co-sponsors of this award honoring “Great Schools”.  PDK-WA and CEE are honored to support schools and improvement and to say “thank you for all you do for the children of our state!”  At the PDK-WA luncheon during the “Schools of Distinction Institute” on September 26, this year’s recipients of the “Great Schools” award will be recognized.  In addition, a certificate and banner will be presented at an upcoming LW School Board Meeting (date to be announced).

Congratulations to all our staff and students for their hard work and achievement!
