Capri and Forest Hill Elementary Schools Earn Top State Honor

Award recognizes strong academic growth and supportive environments for learning

We’re proud to announce that Capri and Forest Hill Elementary Schools have been named 2025 California Distinguished Schools—the state’s highest recognition for public schools! This is a first-time honor for Capri.

The award highlights the strong academic growth, supportive environments, and dedication to student success at both schools.

“This recognition reflects the hard work and passion for learning of our teachers, staff, students and families,” said Superintendent Shelly Viramontez.  “While we know all of our staff are working hard to provide our students with high quality learning, it is gratifying when our schools are publicly recognized for their hard work.” 

Both schools will be celebrated at a district event on May 22nd, and at a statewide awards ceremony on May 30th. Congratulations to the Capri and Forest Hill communities!
