Central Elementary and LMS achieve four-star distinction!

Great news! Today the Indiana Department of Education released the list of four-star schools for 2008-09, and both Central Elementary and Lebanon Middle School were included. This is the first time LMS has achieved four-star status.

According to the DOE, "Four Star Schools are those public schools who meet AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) under NCLB (No Child Left Behind) and were in the top 25% of all Indiana Public Schools in four categories:

• ISTEP+ Percent Passing both English/LA and Math
• ISTEP+ Language Proficiency T-Score
• ISTEP+ Math Proficiency T-Score
• Attendance Rate"

Congratulations to the whole staff and all the students at these schools!
