Clayton County Risk Losing Accreditation

So, have I mentioned that I live here?


My daughters actually go to one of the best schools in the county (for all it’s worth). The school has continuously scored high on national testing, and had the highest test scores in the county on the writing assessment test for the last few years.

My daughter took her SATs on Saturday. I got up at six in the morning (on a Saturday!) to get her there by 7:45. However, all of that will be useless if we lose accreditation. This is also affects my 15 year old, and if it doesn’t now, will affect my 7 and 9 year old.

My home will be worthless. My children won’t be able to get scholarships. Other counties are not willing to take the children of this county in (and really, I can’t blame them).

The problems are due to the school board.

SACS found: “ Today’s announcement that Clayton County Schools are run so badly that they became the first system to ever lose their accreditation is a disaster. With the loss of accreditation, their students cannot receive HOPE scholarships, they may not be able to transfer their credits, and their college future is threatened. Those responsible for educating our children failed.”

The board members, who are accused of misappropriating funds, abuse of power, bid tampering and much more, refuse to step down. Obviously they care more about their egos than the children and families of this county.

If something doesn't happen soon, this will be me.

That would absolutely suck if you had to move. The board members aren't embarassed for being outed by the media? They are some bold folks? I hope all of this gets resolved...

We had a meeting tonight. Same old crap. After over fifty people asked them all to resign, they had the nerve to argue among themselves again.

They have no shame.

That's absolutely outrageous that the children would penalized for the incompentence of the school district! It makes me furious! How is that fair?

It is ridiculous what is happening to the community and the school system. Don't wait on someone else to control you or your childs education, take matters into your own hands. Ashworth High School is fully accredited with SACS, get your child enrolled and closer to a better future!

We lost our accreditation and it sucks, because our kids are stuck. They won't let them leave and we can't afford private.

I hope your children have a better chance than here.

I hope they get their accreditation back soon.

The story about your mother move was funny too.

I hate moving too. We moved my mom downstairs and it was a two week event.
