AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – Eight schools Richmond County School System (RCSS) were named “Math Leaders” for achievements in mathematics by the Georgia Department of Education for the 2023-24 school year.
According to RCSS, this is the first year that elementary, middle and high school in Georgia obtained “Math Leader” Awards. Schools were awarded based on the amount of students who achieved Proficient Learner level or above on the Georgia Milestones mathematics assessments.
“We are honored to be counted among the inaugural group of schools who show notable achievement and growth in mathematics,” said Malinda Cobb, Associate Superintendent of Academic Services. “After the state of Georgia implemented new K-12 math standards last school year, our math teachers worked hard to adjust their teaching styles accordingly.”
