Rio Vista Elementary was named both a Title I Academic Achievement School and a California “Exemplary” Distinguished School, the bonus “exemplary” being awarded to only 30 schools in the state.

James Workman Middle School was the first secondary school in the Palm Springs Unified School District to achieve over 800 on the API and this year one of its teachers was named one of only five “California State Teachers of the Year.”

Cathedral City High School’s Academic Performance Index (API) continues to climb towards a level of excellence. The high school has achieved Gold Ribbon Status by the State Superintendent of Public Schools in 2015.
