Platinum Award
19 Fayette schools were awarded for academic performance by the Georgia Governor's Office of Student Achievement and Sandy Creek is proud to have won two recognitions. Each year the Georgia Governor's Office of Student Achievement recognizes outstanding public schools for high academic performance. The state awards were given in two categories: greatest gain, for schools that showed the greatest improvement in scores on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) or the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT), and/or highest performance, for schools that demonstrated the highest achievement on the CRCT or GHSGT. Sandy Creek High School was the only school to earn an award in each. A total of 370 awards were given statewide.
Sandy Creek High School also received a Platinum award for greatest gain. Only North Fayette and SCHS received Platinum awards in this category. These two schools made AYP for three consecutive years with a minimum of 35 percent of students exceeding standards and scoring in the 98th percentile of greatest gains.
