McClarin High gets $3.4 million school improvement grant

McClarin High School in Fulton County has been awarded a $3.4 million school improvement grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

The money is to be dispersed over a three-year period if the school meets improvement targets.

“McClarin is the lowest performing high school in Fulton County,” said Superintendent Robert Avossa. “This is our effort to transform the school. With a new principal and assistant principal this year, and thanks to this grant, we’re now in a place where we can do something dramatically different. The results at this school are just not acceptable – we can and must do better.”
