A. R. Lewis Recognized for Academic Performance
The Palmetto Gold and Palmetto Silver awards program recognizes schools that have attained high levels of absolute performance, high rates of growth, and substantial progress in closing achievement gaps between groups of students. Schools receive general performance awards based on both their absolute and growth ratings and the growth index found on school report cards. These ratings are determined by PASS scores for elementary and middle schools. Schools receive closing the achievement gap awards based on academic gains made by students who fall into four subgroups - African American students, Hispanic students, students participating in federal free- or reduced-price lunch programs and students with non-speech disabilities. We are proud to announce that A. R. Lewis Elementary has been awarded the Gold award in the General Performance category and the Silver award in the Closing the Achievement Gap category!
