School System Featured in Report on Student Achievement



The Center for American Progress has released a report that looks at progress in student achievement in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools.

Called “Common Strategies for Uncommon Achievement: How Districts Enable and Support High-Performing Schools,” the report focuses on three North Carolina school districts and the steps they took from 2008 to 2011 to support student achievement.

The part about Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools focuses on the implementation of Single School Culture. The report details the system’s critical friend relationship with the School District of Palm Beach County, how schools implementing Single Cool Culture fared compared to other schools in North Carolina, and Principal Sharon Richardson's instructional leadership at Northwest Middle School.

The success of Forest Park Elementary, Hall-Woodward Elementary, Kennedy Learning Center, and Carver High between 2008 to 2011 is featured within the report's data analysis.

 “Well done, everyone!” said Bud Harrelson, the school system’s Program Manager for School Improvement and its Race to the Top Coordinator.
