Three local schools were among 74 schools removed from a low-performing list by the state Tuesday. Centennial Arts Academy, a Gainesville elementary school, as well as two Hall County schools — White Sulphur and Lyman Hall elementary schools — were taken off the “focus” list of the Georgia Department of Education, which is right above the lowest-performing “priority” schools. No local schools remain on the list.
