Prairie Valley Elementary School Recognized as Title I Distinguished School

    Prairie Valley Elementary School was recognized as one of the Distinguished Schools in Texas.  The Texas Education Agency's Title I, Distinguished Schools prestigious designation recognizes schools that have consistently demonstrated strong academic performances over a three-year period.  All of these Title I, Part A schools achieved the Academically Exemplary rating for the present school year and have a residing population of 40% or more low income students - as reported on NCLB Consolidated Application for Federal Funding.
Distinguished Performance Schools have achieved a minimum of a Recognized status for the two previous years, and Distinguished Progress Schools have increased their status from either Academically Unacceptable or Acceptable two years ago, to Recognized or Exemplary last year and Exemplary this year.

    Representatives of Prairie Valley Elementary school will be honored with a luncheon at the Region 09 Educational Service Center in Wichita Falls on April 21, 2010.  There were 17 campuses in Region 09 that received this honor.

   The Prairie Valley Elementary campus is among 715 Distinguished Schools and 217 Distinguished Progress Schools statewide.  To achieve and maintain such high standards is an accomplishment that serves as a model for other schools in the state to emulate.
