Willett logoRobert E. Willett Elementary has been recognized as a 2025 California Distinguished School by the California Department of Education. The California Distinguished Schools program recognizes schools for their excellent work in one of two categories: closing the achievement gap and achieving exceptional student performance, based on school performance as indicated on the California School Dashboard. Congratulations to the hardworking students and staff of Willett, and thank you to Principal John Campbell for your leadership.

Elementary schools and secondary schools are recognized in alternate years, meaning awardees hold this title for two years. Several DJUSD schools have been named as California Distinguished Schools previously, including César Chávez Elementary in 2023.
