The schools were part of a group representing 16% of schools statewide that demonstrated exceptional progress in key areas of student success during the 2023-24 school year. Hazelwood Elementary achieved notable growth for low-income students, while Seaview Elementary was recognized for growth across multiple student demographics, including racial or ethnic groups and special education.
