Northside Elementary School

As our celebration of GA PreK Week comes to a close, we’re excited to share some great news about the Tift County Pre-K program! Recent GKIDS (Georgia Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills) Readiness assessment data shows that students from Tift County Pre-K classrooms are entering kindergarten better prepared than their peers from other Georgia Pre-K programs or those who didn’t attend Pre-K. We are extremely proud of our young learners and the incredible work being done to set them up for success! #4theT
