Two Kings Canyon Unified Schools Named to California “Schools to Watch” List
Celebrations
Kings Canyon Unified School District (KCUSD) is proud to announce that Silas Bartsch School and Navelencia Middle School have been named 2025 “California Schools to Watch”. This prestigious designation recognizes schools that demonstrate academic excellence while ensuring that teachers have all the tools they need to help students succeed.
Schools earning this distinction undergo a rigorous application process and host a site visit conducted by middle-grades education experts. To maintain their designation, schools must reapply every three years and meet updated criteria for continued excellence.
“Congratulations to Silas Bartsch School and Navelencia Middle School on this well-deserved recognition,” said John Campbell, Superintendent of Kings Canyon Unified School District. “This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our students, teachers, and administrators who strive daily to create an engaging and supportive learning environment.”
Representatives from Silas Bartsch School and Navelencia Middle School will be honored at the upcoming California Schools to Watch Conference.
