Department of Education releases list of Reward Schools, ACES included
Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) today released the list of Reward Schools as part of the state’s waiver from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The category is reserved for schools with the highest performance or the biggest academic gains by students in the last three years.
“These schools are shining examples of what we can achieve in public education in Georgia,” said State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge. “I want to take what’s working at our Reward Schools and replicate that in every school in the state. These are the schools making education work for all Georgians.”
“Congratulations to Appling County Elementary School on becoming a reward school in the state of Georgia. This is an outstanding achievement for your school, the district, and Appling County! All schools and the district office commend you all on this accolade,” said Superintendent Scarlett M. Copeland.
Appling County Elementary School has been recognized as a High-Progress School. A “High-Progress School” is a Title I school among the 10% of Title I schools in the State that is making the most progress in improving the performance of the “all students” group over three years on the statewide assessments. A school may not be classified as a High-Progress School if there are significant achievement gaps across subgroups that are not closing in the school.
