Each year, students in FPS take state assessments from grades 3 through 12. These assessments provide valuable insights into student learning and their preparedness for college, careers, and future success. Data from the 2024 state assessments reveals the following trends:

• A student with 90% attendance is 1.5 times more likely to achieve proficiency on the state assessment compared to a student with 80% attendance.
• A student with 90% attendance is 3 times more likely to score proficient compared to a student with 70% attendance.

These findings highlight a clear connection between attendance and proficiency, demonstrating that higher attendance is strongly linked to better academic performance. To reinforce this, the State Attendance Target is for 90% of students to attend school at least 90% of the time. Achieving this goal helps ensure your child is on track for success, both academically and in life.

Fulton Public Schools has adopted the "I Love U Guys" Foundation's Standard Response Protocol (SRP) as part of our district wide emergency operations plan.

The SRP is based on an all-hazards approach as opposed to individual scenarios. SRP utilizes clear common language while allowing for flexibility in protocol.

The premise is simple - there are five specific actions that can be performed during an incident. Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff, teachers and first responders. The SRP is based on the following actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.
