After a lengthy submission and evaluation process Lauderbach Elementary has been chosen one of seven national Excellence Award winners from the National Council of Urban School Transformation. Criteria to receive this great honor include high rates of academic proficiency across racial/ethnic groups, high achievement among EL learners, high attendance rates, and evidence through our data how we are closing the achievement gap. This is truly an honor and recognition of the work being taken to support all our students! Congratulations to staff, parents, and students!
