States across the nation are scrambling to reform their educational systems so that they are more effective and meet the requirements of
the No Child Left Behind Act. Georgia is one of these states. Although Georgia has implemented a number of measures to enhance its students academic success, however, many

time in the state during that same year (Donsky, 2005). Some Georgian counties have even worse records that others. Dekalb
County, for example, has the largest school system in the state yet its graduation rate is the lowest (Donsky, 2005). The city of Atlanta has a graduation rate of
only fifty-two percent (Donsky, 2005). In all the states fifty-eight percent graduation rate is significantly inferior to the sixty-five percent graduation rate achieved by the Southern Region as a
