As a whole, the Graves County School District ranks 28th statewide, among 173 school districts. “Our students, teachers, and principals have worked hard and they clearly have made significant progress. We’re very proud of them,” said Assistant Superintendent Carla Whitis, who also serves as district assessment coordinator and secondary instructional supervisor.
The classification of Central, Symsonia, and Fancy Farm elementaries as “Schools of Distinction” means each met its current annual measurable objective and student participation rate. Elementary Schools of Distinction are the highest-performing level of all elementary schools, those with overall scores at the 95th percentile or higher that met the criteria. “Of course, we’re very happy that these schools have achieved this distinction and proud of the hard work it took to get there,” said Graves County Schools elementary instructional supervisor Amanda Henson.
The district as a whole again qualified as a Distinguished District, ranking among the top 14 percent of districts statewide. This marks the third consecutive year Graves County has qualified as a Distinguished District. The Distinguished District classification means the district has met the annual measurable objectives and student participation rates.
Superintendent Kim Dublin concluded, “We thank and congratulate the faculty and staff, parents, and students for their diligence, hard work, and success.”
