Three OUSD Schools selected as California Distinguished Schools
Orange Unified’s Cerro Villa Middle School , El Rancho Charter Middle School and Villa Park High School were among the 218 secondary schools named last week by the California Department of Education as California Distinguished Schools.
Schools wishing to apply for the honor must meet a variety of eligibility requirements that include scores on state accountability tests. Those schools that meet the eligibility requirements may then apply for the recognition. The application includes two “signature practices”. The schools county office of education validates the signature practices. Schools earning the “distinguished Schools” title must agree to mentor other schools in their signature practice.
