Georgia’s Savannah Christian Preparatory School has several reasons to celebrate, the Savannah Morning News reported. In addition to high test scores and national recognition, the institution is celebrating its 60th year of educating local children.
According to the news source, Savannah was established in 1951 as the Evangelical Bible Institute, a boarding school for eight children. Throughout the School’s 60-year history, much has changed, except for the institution’s commitment to its Christian roots.
Today, more than 1,000 students attend preschool, elementary and high school at the institution, the news outlet stated. Recently, the elementary pupils’ performance on the math and reading portions of the Stanford Achievement Test helped Savannah become a National Blue Ribbon School.
Pearson Education developed the Stanford Achievement Test to help administrators gauge students’ academic abilities, according to the company’s website. Meanwhile, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program was designed by the U.S. Department of Education to honor institutions that have raised their level of academic performance.
The news source reported that Savannah students’ math and reading scores on the Test managed to place the school in the nation’s top 15th percentile.
