On behalf of Shaun Owen, Deputy Superintendent of the Office of Federal Programs, it is my pleasure to congratulate you and your LEA on having a school named as a 2025 Title I Reward School. This recognition is a reflection of the commitment and hard work of your educators, students, and families.

Reward Schools List can be found at this link: GaDOE Rewards School List

Title I Reward Schools are identified as the top 5% of Title I schools in the state making the most progress in improving the performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics of the all-students subgroup. This distinction is based on comparing content mastery scores from the most recent two years of reported data on our statewide assessments. To be included on this list is a remarkable achievement that highlights both effective teaching and strong leadership in your schools.

Please extend our sincere appreciation and congratulations to your principals, teachers, and staff for their dedication to student success. Their efforts are making a measurable difference in ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

We are proud of your district’s accomplishment and grateful for your continued leadership in supporting excellence in education across Georgia.
