At the Gilmer Board of Education meeting on August 19, 2021, Ellijay Elementary School was recognized as a 2021 Title 1 Distinguished School. The Distinguished Schools designation recognizes the highest-performing 5% Title 1 schools in Georgia based on the current statewide assessment. Because assessments were not administered in the 2019-20 school year, this year's list is based on 2019 data, in which Ellijay Elementary School had a CCRPI score of 86.0.
Congratulations to the EES staff and Dr. Fonteboa on this achievement!
