What’s Right With Our Schools: Prep Public School Level 5 Status
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – Level 5 is the highest distinction available from the Tennessee Department of Education. It basically means your school is improving and fast.
Schools are graded in a variety of categories. In Chattanooga, several inner-city schools recently earned Level 5 status.
In the coming weeks, we’ll pay visits to Dalewood, East Lake and Howard, but we begin our Level 5 tour at Prep Public School formerly known as Chatt Prep.
Brad Scott is the CEO for Prep Schools.
He says, “Every time our students our scholars hit a goal, the gong is hit, so the entire school can hear has been accomplished. It’s really exciting to see our hard work paid off the secrets off.”
Diamond Kelley is the Principal at Prep Public.
She explains, ” The secret sauce, the students, attitude, the teachers all bought in. Every day hard work. That’s the secret sauce. There’s no pressure, we know that we’re doing what’s right for boys every day. And so, we’re doing what we’re supposed to every day. No pressure.”
Principal Kelley concludes,” Congratulations to all of my teachers all of the students all of the stakeholders because we have lots of community members that are rooting us on. So, congratulations to you too.”
