Students at Miles Elementary School will benefit from the GraduateFIRST grant from the Georgia Department of Education Seven APS schools were recently awarded a federally funded grant through the Georgia Department of Education and GraduateFIRST that will be used to help increase the district’s graduation rate and close the achievement gap for students with disabilities. Congratulations to: Deerwood Academy Elementary Heritage Elementary Miles Elementary Bunche Middle School King Middle School Price Middle School and Grady High School Georgia’s GraduateFIRST program has redefined the state’s approach to raising graduation rates for students with disabilities with dramatic results-an increase of 37 percent in four years. The program has worked successfully throughout Georgia with middle and high schools for the last six years, as well as with elementary schools during the current school year.
