El <\/span>Dorado <\/span>County <\/span>Schools <\/span>Earn <\/span>2026 <\/span>California <\/span>Distinguished <\/span>School <\/span>Honors<\/span><\/h1>\n

Four <\/span>middle <\/span>schools <\/span>in <\/span>El <\/span>Dorado <\/span>County <\/span>have <\/span>been <\/span>recognized <\/span>among <\/span>the <\/span>state\u2019s <\/span>top-<\/span>performing <\/span>campuses <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>2026 <\/span>California <\/span>Distinguished <\/span>Schools <\/span>program, <\/span>a <\/span>prestigious <\/span>award <\/span>administered <\/span>by <\/span>the <\/span>California Department of Education<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>honored <\/span>campuses <\/span>include <\/span>Camerado Springs Middle School<\/span><\/span> and <\/span>Rolling Hills Middle School<\/span><\/span> of <\/span>the <\/span>Buckeye Union Elementary School District<\/span><\/span>, <\/span>Miller\u2019s Hill School<\/span><\/span> in <\/span>the <\/span>Latrobe School District<\/span><\/span>, <\/span>and <\/span>Marina Village Middle School<\/span><\/span> of <\/span>the <\/span>Rescue Union Elementary School District<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>California <\/span>Distinguished <\/span>Schools <\/span>Program, <\/span>established <\/span>in <\/span>1985, <\/span>is <\/span>one <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>state\u2019s <\/span>highest <\/span>recognitions <\/span>for <\/span>public <\/span>schools. <\/span>The <\/span>award <\/span>highlights <\/span>campuses <\/span>demonstrating <\/span>exceptional <\/span>student <\/span>performance, <\/span>innovative <\/span>programs, <\/span>and <\/span>measurable <\/span>progress <\/span>in <\/span>closing <\/span>achievement <\/span>gaps.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>These <\/span>schools <\/span>represent <\/span>the <\/span>dedication <\/span>of <\/span>educators, <\/span>students, <\/span>and <\/span>families <\/span>who <\/span>work <\/span>every <\/span>day <\/span>to <\/span>create <\/span>exceptional <\/span>learning <\/span>environments,\u201d <\/span>the <\/span>California <\/span>Department <\/span>of <\/span>Education <\/span>said <\/span>in <\/span>a <\/span>statement <\/span>announcing <\/span>the <\/span>awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Data-<\/span>driven <\/span>selection <\/span>process<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unlike <\/span>many <\/span>recognition <\/span>programs, <\/span>schools <\/span>do <\/span>not <\/span>apply <\/span>for <\/span>the <\/span>Distinguished <\/span>School <\/span>designation. <\/span>Instead, <\/span>the <\/span>state <\/span>automatically <\/span>identifies <\/span>eligible <\/span>campuses <\/span>using <\/span>performance <\/span>data <\/span>from <\/span>the <\/span>California <\/span>School <\/span>Dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

To <\/span>qualify, <\/span>schools <\/span>must <\/span>meet <\/span>several <\/span>strict <\/span>criteria, <\/span>including:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    At <\/span>least <\/span>95% <\/span>participation <\/span>in <\/span>statewide <\/span>assessments<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Strong <\/span>academic <\/span>performance <\/span>and <\/span>growth <\/span>in <\/span>English <\/span>language <\/span>arts <\/span>and <\/span>mathematics<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Positive <\/span>school <\/span>climate <\/span>indicators<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>including <\/span>low <\/span>suspension <\/span>rates <\/span>and <\/span>reduced <\/span>chronic <\/span>absenteeism<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The <\/span>program <\/span>alternates <\/span>recognition <\/span>between <\/span>school <\/span>levels <\/span>each <\/span>year. <\/span>In <\/span>2026, <\/span>the <\/span>focus <\/span>is <\/span>on <\/span>middle <\/span>and <\/span>high <\/span>schools, <\/span>while <\/span>elementary <\/span>schools <\/span>were <\/span>recognized <\/span>in <\/span>2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A <\/span>long <\/span>history <\/span>of <\/span>academic <\/span>recognition<\/span><\/h3>\n

    El <\/span>Dorado <\/span>County <\/span>schools <\/span>have <\/span>earned <\/span>numerous <\/span>Distinguished <\/span>School <\/span>honors <\/span>over <\/span>the <\/span>decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In <\/span>2025, <\/span>Jackson Elementary School<\/span><\/span>\u2014<\/span>also <\/span>part <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>Rescue <\/span>Union <\/span>Elementary <\/span>School <\/span>District\u2014<\/span>was <\/span>the <\/span>county\u2019s <\/span>only <\/span>campus <\/span>to <\/span>receive <\/span>the <\/span>award <\/span>during <\/span>the <\/span>elementary <\/span>school <\/span>cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Previous <\/span>middle <\/span>and <\/span>high <\/span>school <\/span>honorees <\/span>included <\/span>Herbert C. Green Middle School<\/span><\/span> in <\/span>2024, <\/span>along <\/span>with <\/span>repeat <\/span>recognition <\/span>for <\/span>several <\/span>campuses.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Among <\/span>the <\/span>most <\/span>notable <\/span>multi-<\/span>year <\/span>honorees <\/span>is <\/span>Rolling <\/span>Hills <\/span>Middle <\/span>School, <\/span>which <\/span>has <\/span>earned <\/span>Distinguished <\/span>School <\/span>recognition <\/span>in <\/span>1996, <\/span>2004, <\/span>2021, <\/span>and <\/span>now <\/span>2026<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>highlighting <\/span>a <\/span>sustained <\/span>record <\/span>of <\/span>academic <\/span>achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Several <\/span>high <\/span>schools <\/span>in <\/span>the <\/span>region <\/span>have <\/span>also <\/span>received <\/span>the <\/span>honor <\/span>in <\/span>past <\/span>years, <\/span>including <\/span>Oak Ridge High School<\/span><\/span> and <\/span>Ponderosa High School<\/span><\/span> in <\/span>2001.<\/span><\/p>\n

    New <\/span>recognition <\/span>category <\/span>added<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Beginning <\/span>in <\/span>2026, <\/span>the <\/span>California <\/span>Distinguished <\/span>Schools <\/span>program <\/span>also <\/span>includes <\/span>a <\/span>new <\/span>designation <\/span>called <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Beacons <\/span>of <\/span>Opportunity.\u201d<\/span><\/strong> The <\/span>category <\/span>recognizes <\/span>high-<\/span>performing <\/span>rural <\/span>and <\/span>Title <\/span>I <\/span>schools <\/span>that <\/span>demonstrate <\/span>strong <\/span>outcomes <\/span>despite <\/span>economic <\/span>challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

    County <\/span>education <\/span>officials <\/span>say <\/span>the <\/span>continued <\/span>recognition <\/span>of <\/span>local <\/span>campuses <\/span>reflects <\/span>the <\/span>strength <\/span>of <\/span>educators, <\/span>school <\/span>leadership, <\/span>and <\/span>community <\/span>support <\/span>across <\/span>El <\/span>Dorado <\/span>County.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The <\/span>El Dorado County Office of Education<\/span><\/span> maintains <\/span>a <\/span>historical <\/span>record <\/span>of <\/span>Distinguished <\/span>School <\/span>recipients <\/span>as <\/span>part <\/span>of <\/span>its <\/span>ongoing <\/span>effort <\/span>to <\/span>highlight <\/span>educational <\/span>excellence <\/span>throughout <\/span>the <\/span>region.<\/span><\/p>\n
