Focused Schools would like to congratulate Mammoth Middle School for being recognized as a California Distinguished School for all the hard work of their whole stakeholder community. "Mammoth Middle School in Mammoth Unified School District (Mono County) made significant progress toward closing achievement gaps for several groups. English learners, Hispanic, and Socioeconomically Disadvantaged student subgroups in particular all increased scores on their English Language Arts assessments. The school district implemented numerous programs to help struggling students, including intervention, support classes and tutoring, and ongoing professional development for educators with Focused Schools."

Hats off to the leaders in New Bedford for a job well done!
