Two Lemon Grove schools recognized for top CAST results in district
Summary
Monterey Heights STEAM Academy and Mount Vernon Dual Immersion Elementary were recognized by the board for earning the district's highest CAST scores in math/science and ELA, respectively. Principals credited staff, families and instructional leadership for the gains.
District leaders used the Feb. 10 board meeting to honor two schools with the highest district CAST (California Science Test/CAASPP) results. Amy Folinara, executive director of educational services, introduced principals from Monterey Heights STEAM Academy and Mount Vernon Dual Immersion Elementary.
"Monterey Heights has earned the highest district wide CAST scores in math and science," Folinara said, calling the results a testament to instructional leadership, student focus and staff and family dedication. Principal remarks emphasized teamwork: "This is a team effort, a culmination of staff, teachers, paras, cafeteria, CPAs, everyone involved," one principal said.
The district said plaques will be displayed at the district office and the sites. Trustees commended the schools and encouraged continued focus on the instructional practices that produced the results.
