Dear Five Forks Community,
As I have said many, many times over these past 19 years at Five Forks…I am blessed. What a great community to call my home! What an excellent and dedicated staff to call my family! What an amazing student body…THE VERY BEST!
As 2018 comes to a close, I come to you again to share amazing news. The Five Forks Middle School students and staff have, for the third year in a row, earned recognition from Governor Nathan Deal’s Office of Student Achievement in two areas. We earned a Silver Award in the Greatest Gains category for exhibiting high growth in student achievement. This means that our academic growth over the last three years has been in the top 5% of all schools in the state! We also earned a Silver Award in the Highest Performing category for exhibiting high academic performance, meaning that our overall achievement for the last three years has been in the top 5% of the schools in the state! This is excellent news as we moved from a Bronze Award to a Silver Award in the Highest Performing category. Five Forks’ students continue to make academic gains across the board!
Additionally, Five Forks Middle School is one of 112 Greatest Gains schools in the state and one of only 27 schools to receive the 2018 Silver award for Greatest Gains. We are also one of 78 Highest Performing schools in the state and one of only 23 schools to receive the 2018 Silver award for Highest Performing. Finally, Five Forks Middle School is only ONE of 31 schools in the state to receive an award in BOTH categories.
