The mission of the faculty, staff and Northside Primary School is

“Seeking Every Child’s Fullest Potential”.

We strive each day to ensure that your child is safe and has an opportunity to an

equitable education.

All Tift County Schools are Title One Schools!

Title One supports intervention programs, parent communication, and additional school resources.

Our curriculum is based on the Georgia Standards of Excellence.

Our goal is to work together to form a unified experience for all of our students.

What is Title One?

Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) is amended to read as follows:

TITLE I — IMPROVING THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF THE DISADVANTAGED

The purpose of Title I under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.

A Title I school has qualified to receive federal funding under this act.

How Does NSP participatewith Title One?

Northside Primary is an identified Schoolwide Title I School!

In a schoolwide school , all students benefit from Title I resources.

We receive funding from the federal government where we are generally able to offer:

Additional staff members to lower the student-teacher ratio.

Title I schools are based on percent of students eligible for free and reduced lunch.

What is our Schools Designation Status and What Does it Mean?

In 2011-2012, the Georgia Department of Education applied for a waiver seeking relief from the federal No Child Left Behind Act. As a result, the United States Department of Education agreed to use a new system, the College & Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), to report the progress of Georgia's public schools. In January 2013, the Georgia Department of Education released the final list of indicators on which schools will receive a CCRPI score. For more information on the CCRPI, please visit the following link:
