Last month, the faculty at Harrowgate Elementary School celebrated being one of only six schools in the county to earn the Panasonic National School Change Award.
The award recognizes schools that have achieved significant positive change, measuring them in 16 stringent criteria. Harrowgate was selected after submitting a detailed application that outlined the school’s progress from underperforming to outstanding achievement.
During the past five years, Harrowgate has implemented many programs that helped students achieve success. SOL test scores at Harrowgate, where 56 percent of the students receive free or reduced price lunches, have climbed steadily in all subject areas since 2002.
This is the second year in a row that a Chesterfield County school has won a National School Change Award! Chalkley Elementary won in 2007, and Bensley Elementary won in 2002.
We will bring the staff of Harrowgate Elementary before the board in the fall for a more official recognition of their efforts.
