Woodstock Elementary Is One Of Georgia's Highest Performing Schools

Staff Report

Woodstock Elementary School for the third consecutive year has been named a Georgia Reward School - Highest Performing School.

This designation from the Georgia Department of Education recognizes Woodstock Elementary School for being among the top 5 percent of Title I schools in Georgia with the highest performance on statewide assessments for the past three years.

This is the third year for the designation, which Woodstock Elementary has achieved all three years. A Title I school has a high percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Woodstock Elementary also recently was honored as a 2013 Georgia Family Friendly Partnership School Award winner — one of only four in the state — based on factors including its student and parent engagement, staff friendliness and community partnerships.

Kim Montalbano is the principal of Woodstock Elementary School.

“Woodstock Elementary School deserves high praise for its continued, outstanding achievement and those congratulations extend not only to the students for their excellent performance, but also to their teachers, support staff, administrators, parents, volunteers, business partners and the community at large,” Cherokee County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Frank Petruzielo said. “Working together, we can help each child – even the most at-risk and challenged – overcome obstacles and succeed. Woodstock Elementary is a model Title I school for our community, the state and the nation.”
