District highlights gains at three high‑poverty schools after multi‑year support effort
Summary
Dougherty County staff presented data showing steady CCRPI and content mastery gains at Alice Coachman, Robert Harvey and Turner Elementary after a four‑year targeted support initiative; presenters cautioned work remains.
District staff presented four‑year progress data on three previously flagged schools and highlighted measurable gains while acknowledging continued challenges.
Presenter Vincent Davis described the multi‑year initiative and the schools’ testing progress, saying the schools moved from CCRPI scores in the 50s toward the 70s: in one example he cited a CCRPI of 57.7 in 2019 and 72.7 in the most recent year for a highlighted school. He added that content mastery and math and science gains were visible across the data and that the improvements reflect the combined efforts of principals, teachers and families.
Board members praised administrators and staff and accepted the recognition items; several members urged continued attention to roof repairs and other facility needs identified during school visits.
District leadership framed the gains as meaningful but not a final step: presenters noted additional work is required to sustain and extend progress, including continued instructional support and targeted resources. The presentation materials and certificates were shared with the board and district staff for recognition.
