schools on the failing list. Most of those
Muscogee County Schools were located in
the economically stressed areas.
Three of Coweta County's Title 1 schools
were on the blacklist as was Crawford
County Middle school. Only one ttarris
County School, Carver Middle School, was
listed as needing improvement; while two
of three Pike County Schools were also
ranked low.
Talbot County has only one school,
Central of Talbotton Elementary/High
School. and it is ranked as needing improve-
ment.
Kathy Cox, State Superintendent of
Schools speaking at several Title 1 schools
in Georgia said it was the goal of the State
Department of Education that every sys-
tem and every school in (;eorgia attain these
high goals.
Many parents considered the option of
transferring students to a school that meets
all qualifications, but some found their
neighbors were in a similar situation and
some school districts had only one type
school, leaving no school to transfer.
More parents must resort to tutoring
and closer supervision of their child's study
habits to give the students an opportunity
to score higher on the CRCT test.

ty bills at curbside outside City Hall wouldn't get an 'A' in a spelling quiz.
It's really for 'utility' bill payments, although that isn't exactly what the
sign says. However, in the spirit of the glass houses and stone-tossing
proverb, don't expect this newspaper to make fun of someone else's
spelling error.
the future isn't what
it used to be.
