The Alabama State Department of Education released the Alabama State Report Card today, Thursday, December 14, 2023. This Report Card contains a letter grade for every school and school system in the state for the 2022-23 school year.
Sylacauga City Schools received a "B," which is calculated from academic achievement, academic growth, chronic absenteeism along with graduation rates, and college and career readiness indicators (for high schools). Not only did the district receive a "B," but significant improvement in achievement, growth, graduation rate, and college and career readiness were seen from the previous year's report card.
"I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, and administrators in their continual daily focus on academic achievement and growth," remarked Dr. Michele Eller, Sylacauga City Schools Superintendent. "We celebrate the progress we are making and are committed to continual improvement and growth in student achievement."
Thank you, parents and community partners, for working alongside Sylacauga City Schools as we continue Equipping Everyone for Excellence.
