Several East Cobb schools are among the 159 schools across the state recognized earlier this month by the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement.
The awards are given to schools that meet a number of measures for student academic progress, called Statewide Accountability System Awards, and include the categories of “Greatest Gains” and “Highest Performing.”
Greatest Gains schools must earn a three-year average in the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) Content Mastery Score that ranks in at least the 93rd percentile.
High Performing schools exhibit high academic performance by earning a three-year average CCRPI Content Mastery Score in at least the 93rd percentile.
In other words, these schools are in the top three percent in the state in academic growth in those respective categories.
Lassiter High School earned a Platinum Award for Greatest Gains, while those schools getting the Gold Award are Walton High School, Wheeler High School, Dodgen Middle School and Garrison Mill Elementary School.
Sprayberry High School and Addison Elementary School earned a Silver Award, and the Bronze Award went to Dickerson Middle School, Hightower Trail Middle School and Murdock Elementary School.
