Media release from the Rome, GA City Schools:
The Georgia Department of Education has recognized Anna K. Davie Elementary School as a Comprehensive and Support and Improvement (CSI) school that has shown exceptional academic achievement or improvement.
“I am so proud of this recognition for our school community! It reflects the positive strides we are making in student achievement, and I couldn’t be happier with the progress our students have made over the past several school years,” Anna K Davie Principal Brant Amerman said.
And he reminded everyone of the school’s catchphrase, “AKD is the place to be.”
This year, 52 CSI schools, including Anna K. Davie, were identified as making progress. To be recognized, CSI schools had to show a 5 percent increase in the CCRPI Content Mastery component score from 2023 to 2024 andhave a score of 80 or higher on one of the other components (Progress, Closing Gaps, or Readiness).
Georgia identifies schools for additional support as required by federal law – releasing lists of Comprehensive Support & Improvement (CSI), Targeted Support & Improvement (TSI) schools, and Additional Targeted Support & Improvement (ATSI) schools.
“I am incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication demonstrated by all the students, teachers, and school communities recognized today,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. “The CSI progress and exit schools have worked closely with our Office of School & District Improvement to improve performance and expand the opportunities available to our students. These schools prove that with collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to success, all students can achieve their fullest potential.”
In 2023, Georgia transitioned to a three-year identification process for CSI schools. To annually recognize and celebrate CSI schools making progress on their improvement plans and performance, GaDOE will now recognize CSI Progress Schools each year.
