Kings Mountain Elementary honored

Kings Mountain Elementary School as a Scholar School for the second year in a row. Using academic achievement data from Just for Kids-California, the California Business for Education Excellence Foundation (CBEE Foundation)  identifies, selects and then honors the highest performing public schools in California. This year 204 schools from across the state were awarded the honor.

Scholar schools have a proficiency of 80%—or 50% with significant increases each year since 2002.  All subgroups of students must out-perform expectations based on a linear regression analysis of statewide data.  The school must also met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) goals for at least two years.
