Four Camden Schools Named in 2018 Title I Distinguished Schools’ List

Four Camden County schools were recently named Title I Distinguished Schools by the Georgia Department of Education.  Camden County High School, St. Marys Middle School, Matilda Harris Elementary School and St. Marys Elementary are the four Camden County Schools to earn this distinguished honor.  The highest ranking Title I schools in Georgia are named Title I Distinguished Schools and only 84 schools in the state made the list. Title I Distinguished Schools, when ranked according to their most recent CCRPI single score, are among the highest performing schools that represent 5% of all Title I Schools in the state.

The Georgia Department of Education introduced the Title I Distinguished School program in the fall of this year as part of the Title I Reward Schools program. Title I Distinguished Schools replace the previous Title I Highest Performing Reward Schools designation. The Department of Education will continue to recognize schools for greatest gains as Title I Reward Schools but those schools will not be named until the fall of 2019.

Schools with a percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch at or above 40% are eligible for Title I schoolwide services.  All twelve of Camden County Schools are successful, schoolwide Title I schools.
