CCSD Schools Recognized as Georgia Literacy Leaders

Six Cherokee County School District schools have been named Literacy Leaders by the Georgia Department of Education in recognition of exceptional achievement or growth in student reading skills.

Three CCSD elementary schools and three middle schools are among the 324 schools statewide honored.

Achievement awards recognize schools where 90 percent or more of students in the noted grade level are reading at or above grade level as measured by the Georgia Milestones Assessment.  Growth awards recognize schools that meet or surpass specific growth goals based on the grade level’s current average reading level as measured by Milestones.

Avery ES earned recognition for third-grade growth and fifth-grade achievement; Clayton ES for third-grade and fourth-grade growth; and Holly Springs ES STEM Academy for third-grade growth.  Creekland MS, Dean Rusk MS, and Mill Creek MS all earned recognition for sixth-grade growth.
