Sharps Chapel Elementary School was one of 400 hundred schools across the state to be recognized as a Reward School by the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) for the 2022-2023 school year.
Principal Jamie Bowman said, “I’m extremely proud of the hard work and dedication from our teachers, staff, students, and parents. So much time is put into ensuring that our Hornets are high achievers in all areas, and it is wonderful to see the extra effort paid off. Go Hornets!”
According to the TDOE, “In Tennessee, schools are recognized as a Reward School when they demonstrate high levels of performance and/or improvement in performance. In 2022-23, schools earn Reward status based on their performance on the federal accountability system.
“A school is recognized as a Reward School when it 1) has an overall school score of 3.1 or higher per federal accountability calculation; and 2) is not identified as a Comprehensive Improvement School, Targeted Support and Improvement School, or Additional Targeted Support and Improvement School.”
Sharps Chapel Elementary was recognized at the UC Board of Education meeting on March 21 by Director of Schools Greg Clay.
