Chickamauga schools receive recognition
All three schools in the Chickamauga City School district have been honored for their performance during the 2005-2006 school year. Chickamauga Elementary School was designated as a Bronze School by the Georgia State Department of Education for its percentage of students exceeding standards on the Criterion Reference Competency Test.
Gordon Lee Middle School was designated a Platinum School by the Georgia Department of Education for having the greatest gain meeting and exceeding standards on the CRCT.
Gordon Lee High School was recognized as one of the top 100 schools in the United States based upon student performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress test.
Additionally, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement, and the Commission of International and Trans-Regional Accreditation have accredited each school.
Finally, all three schools and the system as a whole made Adequate Yearly Progress as designated by the federal No Child Left Behind law. This is the fourth consecutive year each school and the system have reached this goal.
CCS again named "Super System"
Chickamauga City Schools was recently notified by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools that it has been recognized as a "2005-2006 Super System for Quality Schools." Only 81 school districts in the state of Georgia received the "Super System" designation. CCS also received this honor following the 2004-2005 school year.
This designation is given to systems that have all their eligible schools accredited by the Association. CCS was congratulated for its "...schools' accreditation accomplishments and continued success in improving educational opportunities for the young people it serves."
Accreditation by SACS is voluntary and helps schools improve teaching and student learning through a systematic process of self-analysis. Accreditation assures not only that an institution meets standards, but also that it demonstrates a commitment to continuously providing quality educational programs.
Founded in 1895, SACS is one of six regional accrediting bodies in the United States. It accredits more than 13,000 institutions, both public and private, from early childhood centers and kindergartens through colleges and universities.
