Platinum Award Winner

Jefferson High School has recently been honored in the 2007 Single Statewide Accountability System awards as a platinum award winner. According to the Governor's Office of Student Achievement, schools must meet three criteria in order to be determined winners: 

a) Make adequate yearly progress (AYP) for three years in a row.

b) Demonstrate that at least 35% of students exceed standards in all test areas as measured by state assessments, and

c) Place in the 98th percentile or higher statewide in greatest student achievement gains.

Only eight high schools in the state were awarded this status!
