However, seven schools were named Reward Schools, two for the second time. HOW DID THE SCHOOLS RANK? Brent Palmer, high school system curriculum and instruction supervisor, gave the Board of Education a rundown of the achievement and value-added results from the state-collected data during a work session Thursday afternoon.
