Georgia’s Failing Schools?
Georgia’s Failing Schools Is A Widespread Problem
The issue of failing schools is affecting all types of communities across our state. According to the state’s own assessment, at least 500,000 kids are limited to schools that are failing or underperforming, making it more important than ever to create education alternatives that will better prepare them for work, relationships, and the real world.
This interactive map allows you to zoom in on a scpecific county or school to see which schools have been ranked by Georgia’s Department of Education as having a D (yellow) or F (red) grade.
Solution for A BETTER EDUCATION
Every Child Able To Access Quality Education
We have long advocated for children to be able to access the education that best fits their needs. Each child and family is unique which means that each child learns in different ways. While most will find what they need in public schools, we must open up options to parents and kids seeking unique education options.
What Options Are Currently Available to Parents?
While the fight for quality access is far from over, there have been some victories that have opened up education choice in our state.
