SVSD Receives State Award

Snoqualmie Valley School District was selected as 1 of 25 award-winning school districts for the State Superintendent’s Award for Educational Excellence in Student Achievement.

The State Superintendent’s Award for Educational Excellence recognizes the 25 top-performing school districts in educational achievement in the previous school year and the 25 top-performing school districts in progress over the last three school years.

“This recognition reflects the hard work of our students, staff, and families across the Snoqualmie Valley,” said Superintendent Dan Schlotfeldt. “Every day our educators create engaging learning environments and support students in reaching their full potential. We are proud of this achievement and grateful to our community for the strong partnership that makes it possible.”

The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) evaluates school districts for the award based on the metrics of student opportunity and outcomes below.

Student Opportunity Measures

  • Regular Attendance
  • Kindergarten Readiness
  • Highly Capable Program Participation
  • High School Level Math in 8th Grade
  • Dual Credit Participation Including Career and Technical Education (CTE)
  • Dual Credit Participation Excluding CTE

Student Outcome Measures

  • 4th Grade Reading
  • 8th Grade Reading
  • 8th Grade Math
  • Ninth Graders on Track
  • 4-Year Graduation Rate

The award criteria align with the state’s Annual Snapshot on Student Opportunity and Outcomes, which shows how individual districts and the state as a whole are progressing on key focus areas. While OSPI did not include access to dual language programming in the methodology, our school district received a commendation for the steps we have taken to provide students with the opportunity to learn English alongside another language––skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

“It is an honor to recognize the Snoqualmie Valley School District  for their dedication to student opportunity and success,” said State Superintendent Chris Reykdal. “From high-quality instruction, to targeted strategies to improving attendance, to ensuring all students have access to advanced coursework, Snoqualmie School  Valley  District is an inspiring representation of Washington’s outstanding public schools.”

Snoqualmie Valley  will receive a banner and a plaque from OSPI recognizing their achievement and commitment to student success. This is the inaugural year of this state award.
