The School/Student/Parent Compact of Cliftondale Elementary was developed in conjunction with parents, teachers and our community
partners and is revised annually. Cliftondale Elementary School is committed to the education and development of its students in
accordance with the system goals set by Fulton County Schools.
District Goals: By 2017: 90% of FCS students will graduate on time; 85% of FCS’s seniors will be eligible for admission to a University
System of Georgia college or university; and 100% of FCS graduates will be work-ready certified.
Schoolwide Goals: At Cliftondale, we will work to improve student performance in Reading and Math. Our goal is to increase Reading
performance with an emphasis on Reading for Information for every Kindergarten through 5 th grade student. The goal for Math is to
