Interesting.  This would make the first elementary school in Irvine to win it for a second time.  They won it before in when they were Westwood Basics Plus. 

The enrollment will now be crazy.  Same thing happened at Northwood when they won it in 2008.  Enrollment went from something like 400 to 600 in one year.

It's just an award that shows that the school is either high performing or showed significant improvement with a significant under-privileged population.  It's pretty selective so it's sort of the National Merit Scholar program for school.
