The State Board of Education recently recognized only 28 districts
and just 310 school buildings in all of Ohio for earning an overall grade of
“A” on the 2017-2018 Ohio School Report Cards. All four Granville Schools
buildings (Elementary, Intermediate, Middle and High Schools) and the Granville
Exempted School District were all named to this select group. In
addition, only 57 school buildings received the “All A” Award for earning
straight A’s on their report card, and Granville Intermediate School was one of
those recipients!
The State Board of Education also named 70 districts and 226
school buildings to receive the Momentum Award for exceeding expectations in
student growth for the year. Granville Intermediate School, Middle
School, High School and the Granville Exempted Village School District all
received this honor this year. Granville Elementary is not eligible for
the award due as student growth data is only calculated for grades 4 – 12 by
the State. GIS, GHS and the District have received the Momentum award
every year it has been awarded, starting with the 2015-16 school year.
“Every day, Ohio’s schools do the challenging but rewarding work
of educating our students and building the future of our state,” said State
Board of Education President Tess Elshoff. “The State Board of Education is
proud to recognize these students, teachers, administrators and parents for
their accomplishments.” Click here for complete lists of districts and school buildings that received
the Overall A Award, All A Award or Momentum Award.
“The Granville Board of Education and the
Granville Schools staff and administration would like to share this honor with
the entire community,” stated Jeff Brown, Granville Schools
Superintendent. “Our children have amazing opportunities because of the
support the community provides, the individual contributions of each staff
member, and value each student has for their education. It takes all
three of these components to have successful educational outcomes, and we
are thankful we have all of them right here in
Granville!”
