CONGRATULATIONS to you, faculty and staff, upon receiving state recognition for your school's progress in narrowing the achievement gap between disadvantaged and non-economically disadvantaged students. To be recognized among only 75 schools statewide is a significant accomplishment of which you must take great pride!
THANK YOU (and your faculty and staff) for your continued extra efforts toward achieving greater success for all our students.

AUGUST 31, 2006 -- The state's new curriculum, the Georgia Performance Standards, is the fifth-best state curriculum in the nation according to a report released this week.
The Thomas B. Fordham Institute released its report on all state curricula entitled "The State of State Standards" this week. The report gave Georgia's curriculum an overall grade of B+, up from a C- in 2000, the last time a review was done. Georgia's overall ranking jumped 16 points from 2000 and was among the most improved.
