Golden Apple Moments: Jessica Calabrese-Granger
Season 1 Episode 102 | 3m 20sVideo has Closed Captions
Rookie principal Jessica Calabrese-Granger transforms a failing elementary school.
It was not the kind of assignment most brand-new principals would want. In 2011, Lakeridge Elementary in Renton was identified as chronically underperforming. When Jessica Calabrese-Granger became principal, Lakeridge was in the lowest 5 percent of public schools in the state, which meant it was among only 27 schools in Washington State that were put under the federal School Improvement Grants.
