Governor Kemp Announces the 2024 School Awards
Governor Brian Kemp, along with the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement (GOSA), announced the 213 Georgia public schools in 49 districts that will receive Highest Performing and/or Greatest Gains school awards.
The school awards, developed by GOSA and approved by the State Board of Education (SBOE), are part of Georgia’s Single Statewide Accountability System (SSAS). Highest Performing schools must earn a three-year average College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) Content Mastery Score that ranks in at least the 93rd percentile. Greatest Gains schools must earn a three-year average CCRPI Progress Score that ranks in at least the 93rd percentile. Each award category has four tiers: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Here is the

that shows how the awards are calculated.
The 2024 Greatest Gains award winners include 146 schools across 46 districts, and the 2024 Highest Performing award winners include 120 schools across 21 districts. Fifty-three schools in 16 districts are award winners in both categories.
