The Alabama State Department of Education has released a report card for schools across the state.
Academic achievement and growth, graduation rate, and chronic absenteeism are just a few indicators that determine a school system’s overall score.“I think the report card just shows the hard work of the teachers, the administrators, and the commitment we have to providing a great education to all of our students,” Coffee County Schools Superintendent Kelly Cobb said.
“We’re just proud of our teachers for what they’ve done during that time period [COVID] to keep us where we were,” Houston County Schools Superintendent Brandy White remarked. “I think most systems in the Wiregrass did a pretty good job of trying to stay in school, and the times where we weren’t in school, I think the teachers did what they could virtually.
With an academic growth rate of 100%, Houston County looks to maintain that, while also addressing weaker numbers. “We need some help from the parents as far as keeping kids in school and not missing when it’s not necessary. Chronic absenteeism really hurt us,” White explained.The state as a whole received a “B,” which is the same score from three years ago.
