Two schools in the Rome City School District have met state expectations and will no longer be included on Georgia’s Targeted Support and Improvement list. Main Elementary School and Rome Middle School satisfied the requirements established by the Georgia Department of Education, allowing both schools to exit the designation.
In addition, Anna K. Davie Elementary and Main Elementary were recognized for notable improvement as Comprehensive Support and Improvement schools.
The Targeted Support and Improvement list is reviewed annually, and schools may be removed after one year if standards are met. In contrast, schools identified for Comprehensive Support and Improvement must demonstrate growth over a three-year period to qualify for removal.
Earlier in the academic year, all Rome City Schools showed gains in several areas of the College and Career Ready Performance Index. Across the district, elementary schools improved their scores from 2024 in all four state-assessed CCRPI categories, highlighting a continued emphasis on academic progress.
Both Anna K. Davie and Main Elementary demonstrated significant gains in content knowledge and earned a score of 80 or higher in an additional CCRPI area, which qualified them for recognition on the CSI progress list.
According to Coretta Stewart, Director of Secondary Curriculum and Instruction, the improvements reflect the hard work and dedication of students, teachers, and staff. She noted that the district is encouraged by the schools’ progress and remains focused on supporting continued student growth and success.
Rome City Schools has strengthened instructional quality at every grade level through targeted initiatives such as adding literacy and math coaches, hiring intervention specialists, and implementing a new high-quality curriculum. These strategies are leading to measurable academic gains across the district.
Dr. Wesley Styles, Director of Strategic Improvement and Accountability, expressed pride in the commitment shown by educators and students, stating that the results reinforce the importance of prioritizing consistent student growth to achieve both short-term improvements and lasting success districtwide.
