Gov. Nathan Deal along with the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement announced that 187 Georgia public schools in 51 districts will receive the Highest Performing or Greatest Gains school awards. Additionally, GOSA released its new School Reports website, which provides school performance reports for all public elementary, middle and high schools in Georgia. These reports will help parents, students, educators and communities have clear and concise information about school performance to better understand the strengths and challenges of their local schools.

“I want to congratulate all of the award winning schools across our state, as well as the students and teachers who have worked tirelessly toward these accomplishments,” said Deal. “We must empower Georgia citizens with tools like the Georgia School Reports website if we want to continue to improve student achievement for future generations. Our communities gain a distinct advantage by having easy access to a school’s performance report, and I am confident that this website will serve as an important resource for years to come.”
