Distinguished Schools
State's 'distinguished' school honor only seems spotty in O.C.

Register Q. I
was taken aback by the lack of schools that were titled
Distinguished Schools. Irvine Unified has 23 elementary schools,
and only eight got it. I also noticed your district that you speak
so highly of had no Distinguished Schools and that the big
Capistrano Unified had three. Santa Ana then had six. Why do the
numbers seem random? Also my child's school has the plaque on their
wall but wasn't named on the website or the article written by the
paper. Why is that?
