No Child Left Behind

The federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law holds public schools accountable for student performance and for providing parents with options when schools do not meet high academic standards. In addition, the law provides that students who attend any school that has been designated under the law as “persistently dangerous” may transfer to another public school. Students who have been a victim of a violent crime at school also are eligible to transfer.

The federal law places Title I schools that fail to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for two or more consecutive years in “Needs Improvement” status. These schools must offer school choice-- giving students the opportunity to attend a higher-performing school--and certain NI schools will offer supplemental educational services, such as tutoring for eligible students.

In Georgia, AYP is determined by the Georgia Department of Education, using results from two state exams— the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) for elementary and middle schools and the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT) for high schools

Right to Know

We are committed to continually seeking to improve instruction for our students. We hope that as a parent, you will become involved in our school improvement initiatives as we continue to monitor student achievement and set high expectations. We encourage you to get to know your child's teacher and class routines and expectations.

Under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, and as a parent, you have the right to request and receive from the school district information regarding the professional qualifications of your child's classroom teachers. We are proud of the professional credentials of our teaching staff and will furnish to you, upon request, the professional qualifications of any of your student's classroom teachers. This includes information concerning the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher is certified, the major fields and degrees held by the teacher, and the qualifications of any paraprofessional who provides services to your child.

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

AYP is one of the cornerstones of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. It is a measure of year-to-year student achievement on statewide assessments.
