In 2017, we received an Index of Education Quality score of 220, which was below the national average of 278. In 2021, during our most recent Cognia On-site Review Team, we received a score of 338. Obviously, our prior strategic plan served us well. We look forward to our continued success and growth, as we continue to provide an excellent educational experience for our community and students,” said Superintendent Dr. Andrew Jackson.
