GCS Schools Earn Palmetto Gold and Silver Awards
Sixty-two schools and four career centers have earned state recognition for their academic performance and/or closing achievement gaps. The Palmetto Gold and Silver Awards program recognizes and rewards schools for attaining high levels of absolute performance, for attaining high rates of growth, and for making substantial progress in closing the achievement gap between groups of students.
The criteria and procedures for selecting schools that receive the Gold and Silver Awards were developed by the Education Oversight Committee (EOC).
