Congratulations to Dorothy Grant Elementary School for earning the California Title I Academic Achievement Award.  Grant was one of fourteen schools in San Bernardino county and among 238 statewide selected for the honor which is given only to schools receiving federal Title I funds. The State notified the schools back in February and they were honored at a special award ceremony during the annual California Title I Conference at the Disneyland Hotel on April 21, 2010.

“We are proud of all of our schools in Fontana and their continued growth,” stated Cali Olsen-Binks, Superintendent of Fontana Unified School District. “ We are especially pleased with Dorothy Grant Elementary and their accomplishments over the past couple of years.”

This is the second year in a row that the school has won the award. The school accomplished this by meeting all state and federal targets for student achievement as measured by state tests which are administered each spring. Additionally, the school doubled its growth target school-wide and for socio-economically disadvantaged students.

"These schools deserve high praise for improving student achievement," State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell. "They have addressed barriers to student success and were able to create a school environment conducive to learning. In congratulate the teachers, staff, paraprofessionals, parents, and students who all worked hard this past year to improve. I hold these schools up as models for their success in ensuring that all students without regard to race, economic status, or physical or mental challenges are given the kind of education that allows them to achieve to their fullest potential."
