McKinley and Mentone elementary schools are nominees for the recognition from the CDE.
Schools "invited to apply for the Distinguished School honors must meet a variety of eligibility criteria, including designated federal and state accountability measures based on the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the state's Academic Performance Index requirements," according a news release from a nearby school district.
Honorees will be announced in late March.
