The Georgia Department of Education released the 2022-23 lists of Reward Schools on Monday. The Reward Schools designation recognizes Title I schools making the most significant improvements. 

“We want to congratulate both Alto Park Elementary and Coosa High on their recent recognition,” stated superintendent Dr. Glenn White. “This is a true testament to the dedication and hard work of the administrators, teachers, students, parents and all stakeholders in the community. Great things are happening at APES and CHS and all around FCS, and we are so proud of their accomplishments. Congratulations, again, to Alto Park and Coosa High. Keep doing great things!”

Reward Schools are among the greatest-improving 5% of Title I Schoolwide and Title I Targeted Assistance schools when comparing the content mastery scores from the most recent two years of statewide assessments.

“It is essential that we recognize and celebrate schools making great strides as we maintain our focus on continuous improvement for all Georgia schools,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. “The schools on these lists have made significant efforts in overcoming barriers, meeting challenges, and producing great gains for their students. I applaud the 2022-23 Reward Schools leaders, teachers, parents, and communities for creating opportunities for student success.”
