In
2004, Oglethorpe Charter School was recognized by the
United States Department of Education Office of Innovation and Improvement
as one of eight exemplary charter schools in the nation.
Along the way from our humble founding
to the receiving of this distinguished national honor, countless hours have
been spent in developing policies, procedures, student and faculty handbooks,
and endless forms that have become part of our success story.
Oglethorpe Charter
School is Georgia’s first start-up charter
middle school, founded by parents and community volunteers in 1999. Oglethorpe
Charter School is a middle school in historic Savannah, Georgia, that serves
approximately 400 6th, 7th, and 8th graders
who enroll through a lottery process.

No Child Left Behind is designed to change the culture of
America's schools by closing the achievement gap, offering more flexibility,
giving parents more options, and teaching students based on what works.
Under the act's accountability
provisions, states must describe how they will close the achievement gap and
make sure all students, including those who are disadvantaged, achieve academic
proficiency. They must produce annual state and school district report cards
that inform parents and communities about state and school progress. Schools
that do not make progress must provide supplemental services, such as free
tutoring or after-school assistance; take corrective actions; and, if still not
making adequate yearly progress after five years, make dramatic changes to the
way the school is run.
