Superintendent and principals highlight district gains, hurricane response and academic targets
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Daniel Crockett and school principals reported improved report-card metrics across Greenwood 51, detailed the district's hurricane response (more than 750 hot meals provided), and outlined interventions and targets through 2025 for reading and math.
Superintendent Dr. Daniel Crockett and three school principals presented the district’s annual report-card results and an update on recent recovery and student activities.
Dr. Crockett said the district rallied after a recent hurricane, providing "over 750 hot meals" within 48 hours, checking on students and staff, and beginning insurance claims for facility damage including the high-school library roof, visiting bleachers, a greenhouse and press-box repairs. He also highlighted student opportunities: band placed fourth in state finals, students attended out-of-state competitions and FFA conventions, and athletics schedules were adjusted to accommodate recovery work.
High school principal Miss Ty said the high school scored 53 points on the state report card — "we need 60 points to be good," she said — and reported strong school-climate and student-success metrics (90.2% meeting the target). She outlined strategies including standards realignment for math, professional development, and benchmark visits to share best practices.
Middle school principal Miss Webb reported an overall rating of "good," noted several grade-level rankings in the top 25 statewide for ELA and math, and said chronic absenteeism fell from 21% to 18.5%. She described ongoing interventions including a daily intervention block (RTR) and a teacher–student mentor program.
Primary school principal Mr. Dickerson said the primary school's total score rose from 48 to 52, credited gains to RTI and targeted interventions, and reported marked improvement in the special-education subgroup (about 67% of those students met growth targets). He set targets for 2025 (for example, 60% of grades 3–4 meeting or exceeding state reading standards) and said school-safety measures such as upgraded door locks are underway.
Board members praised staff and principals for the collective response and the work on culture and curriculum. The presentations ended with the board planning follow-up on policy implementation and communications.
