Three public schools in Bulloch County have recognized as “Reward Schools” under the Georgia Department of Education’s new accountability system.Brooklet Elementary School was included in the “Highest Performing” list, and Langston Chapel Middle School and Charter Conservatory for Liberal Arts and Technology were listed under the “High Progress” category.According to the state education department, Highest Performing schools are in the top 5 percent of Title I schools in Georgia in terms of absolute performance on statewide assessments during the past three years. Title I schools receive extra federal funding because they have high concentrations of students from low-income families.High Progress schools are among the top 10 percent of Georgia Title I schools in terms of improvement on statewide assessments during the past three years.Both of those measures are based on schools’ entire student populations, but significant gaps in achievement among subgroups of students – such as by race or ethnicity, disability or language proficiency – can disqualify a school from being named a Reward School.“These schools are shining examples of what we can achieve in public education in Georgia,” State School Superintendent John Barge said in a news release. “I want to take what’s working at our Reward Schools and replicate that in every school in the state.
