The new list of Title 1 schools has been released and three Henry County Schools are in the top tier of schools with improved learning. Hampton Elementary, Walnut Creek Elementary and Tussahaw Elementary are new on the list for 2014. They join McDonough Elementary which is already on the list. Wait a minute, this is the very school they are wanting to close and bring in the Patrick Henry Alternative school. This looks very bad.
Why take out a school that is doing so well and bringing accolades to the Henry County? What is so important about that property that Patrick Henry High Alternative School resides upon? They tried this same process earlier this year in trying to close Smith-Barnes Elementary on Tye Street in Stockbridge and wanting to move Patrick Henry there. Now it is McDonough Elementary they are trying the same thing with and this school is one of the best elementary schools in the State of Georgia. People need to go to those meeting and ask some serious questions and get to the point and ask what is so urgent about moving Patrick Henry High from Stockbridge.

Kudo’s to the schools! Although, the Georgia Department of Education does not share any qualifying information, like the average test score required to be a Title I top tier school of improved learning.
