Bellevue's Robinswood Middle and High School, one of the lowest-performing schools in the state, is likely to be closed by the district at the end of the school year.
Earlier this year, Robinswood was one of 23 schools placed on the state's lowest-performing schools list. In March, the district applied for a federal grant to make extensive changes to the alternative school but failed to qualify.
Recently, the district was notified by the Puget Sound Educational Service District — a state-funded support agency that delivers regional educational services and accredits public high schools — that Robinswood would not be accredited for the 2010-11 school year.
Bellevue Superintendent Amalia Cudeiro has recommended to the School Board that Robinswood be shut
