Congratulations to Cherokee Elementary School for receiving a
PLATINUM Award for making great gains on state assessments
under the Single Statewide Accountability System (SSAS). Under
SSAS, the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement award schools
that show excellence in student achievement and/or progress in
student achievement. Award-winning schools must meet the following
criteria, which are based on the results of the most recent two years
of Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) (grades 3-8 in
reading, English/language arts, math, social studies, and science)
and/or the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT) (grade
11 first time test takers – English/language arts, math, science,
and social studies). Criteria are based on Full Academic Year (FAY)
students. Both the CRCT and the GHSGT classify achievement in terms
of the percent of student who do not meet standards, meet standards,
and exceed standards. Way to go students and teachers!
