 Greenville
County Schools Receive National Accreditation
Greenville County Schools has been awarded National Accreditation from the
AdvancED Accreditation
Commission, recognizing the school system as a high quality school district and
granting full accreditation to the school district and all of its schools.
“Accreditation as conferred by the
AdvancED Accreditation
Commission provides national and international recognition of the high quality
of our schools, school board, and school district,” said Superintendent Dr.
Phinnize J. Fisher. “To receive district-wide accreditation means that all
facets of a school district are working in concert to support student learning
and to meet the needs of students. Our efforts to attain district-wide
accreditation also demonstrate to our community our ongoing commitment to
excellence, our openness to external review and feedback, and our desire to
continuously improve to support the achievements of our 69,000-plus students.”
AdvancED
has developed a comprehensive process through which quality school districts can
receive national accreditation. The accreditation process recognizes that
increasing student achievement involves more than improving instruction. It is
the result of how well all parts of the education system - district, school,
classroom - work together to meet the needs of students. Accreditation is for a
five-year term with regular reporting of progress.
As part of the initial
phase of implementation, the District is sharing the Quality Assurance Review
Team's findings with employees and the community. Click
