Single Statewide Accountability System (SSAS) Awards
As mandated by O.C.G.A 20-14-37 and State Board Rule 160-7-1-.01, the Governor's Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) develops award criteria under the Single Statewide Accountability System (SSAS) and presents them for approval to the State Board of Education. Awards are given to schools with high academic performance or high academic growth.
2025 SSAS Awards
GOSA announced the 2025 SSAS award winners on April 27, 2026. Award winners will receive a certificate to display in their school.
Details of Calculation
