Board recognizes multiple schools for mathematics gains
Summary
At the August work session the board recognized more than a dozen schools for year‑over‑year mathematics gains, citing examples such as Cousins Middle School (+31 points, 6th grade) and Newton County STEAM Academy (100% of 8th graders at developing or above).
Superintendent Bradley and district leaders invited principals and school teams forward to recognize measurable gains on this year's Georgia milestones mathematics results. The recognitions covered improvements at elementary and middle schools across the district, with multiple single-school highlights cited by grade: Porterdale Elementary (3rd grade +10 points), Rocky Plains Elementary (4th grade +21 points), and Cousins Middle School (6th grade +31 points), among others.
District leaders framed the honors as evidence that instructional systems and targeted supports are taking hold across multiple campuses. "When great teaching, strong leadership, and high expectations come together, students benefit," Dr. Bradley said while inviting school teams to be recognized. The board applauded principals and staff during the recognition segment. District materials and photographs were noted as available on the district website following the event.
