Celebrating Growth Across Nash County Public Schools!

Celebrating Growth Across Nash County Public Schools!

At this month’s Principals’ Meeting, we celebrated incredible academic growth across our district!

Assistant Superintendent Melissa Dancy-Smith shared, “This year, 73.9% of our schools earned a School Performance Grade of A, B, or C, the highest since 2015! Of the 23 schools evaluated, 17 met or exceeded growth, with 12 exceeding expectations entirely.”

These results reflect the heart and hard work of our teachers, students, and school leaders, the people making growth happen every single day.
