October 20, 2020 – Four ABC Unified School District schools have been named 2020 Top Public Schools by Innovate Public Schools.

These schools are outperforming the statewide average in one or more factors, including math and reading scores, as well as suspension rates. This year’s list includes Bragg Elementary School, Carver Elementary School, Willow Elementary School, and Haskell STEM Academy.
“We are so proud of this outstanding achievement for our four schools making this year’s Top Public Schools list,” said ABCUSD Board of Education President Dr. Olga Rios. “This recognition is proof that our district is dedicated to closing the opportunity gap for all students.”
The four ABUSD Schools made this year’s Top Public Schools list in the following categories:

“At ABC, it’s important to us for all of our students to succeed,” said Superintendent Dr. Mary Sieu. “Being named as a Top Public School is proof of the hard work that our teachers and administrators put into our schools.”
