Welcome!
The Governor's Office of Student Achievement
(OSA) was established July 1, 2000 by the state law known as the A
Plus Education Reform Act. The mission of OSA is to provide
accountability for all of Georgia's education system from
prekindergarten through postsecondary levels that will result
in:
Improving student achievement
and
Improving
school completion.
As part of this mission, OSA presents its sixth
annual report on Georgia's public K-12 schools. With the 2004-2005
Report Card, OSA presents the Single Statewide Accountability System (SSAS) for
Georgia's K-12 schools. OSA hopes that the information contained in
this report and future reports will provide teachers, parents, and students
with valuable information regarding schools and school districts and challenge communities
to improve education for all of Georgia's children.
The
Georgia Department of Education (GDOE) is the state agency charged
with the fiscal and administrative management of certain aspects of
K-12 public education, including the implementation of federal and
state mandates. Such management is subject to supervision and
oversight by the State Board of Education (SBOE). To learn more
