GaDOE School Climate STAR & Financial Efficiency Star Rating
The Georgia Department of Education (GDOE) released its annual School Climate Star and Financial Efficiency Star ratings for all schools in Georgia. Our 2016 score is four Stars, which is an increase of one Star from last year.
School climate refers to the quality and character of school life – the "culture" of a school. School climate ratings are based on survey results and data from the 2015-2016 school year, and each school is rated on a 1-5 scale, with five stars representing an excellent school climate, and one star representing a school climate in need of improvement.
We believe that our school has an exceptional climate, and that's partly because of your support as a parent or guardian. You have supported our students through your work with our outstanding Magnet and IB programs, award winning athletic department, sensational Fine Arts and ROTC departments, and numerous student-founded community service organizations. All of these critical programs affect the positive climate of our school.
As the principal of a wonderful school, I am committed to our students and how we promote a safe and nurturing learning environment. I appreciate your support as we continue to make our school the best it can be.
In an effort to continue our increased success, we are asking you to take a few minutes to complete the Georgia Parent Survey for this year to inform our data for next school year.
