Special Programs

Britt David attracts students from throughout the school district and is the only elementary school without an attendance zone.  It gives grades for computer literacy and a computer benchmark portfolio is compiled on each student every year.  Students must adhere to academic and behavioral standards to remain in the program.  Students are enrolled on a first come, first serve basis.  Incoming kindergarten students must post a qualifying score on the Georgia Kindergarten Assessment Profile (GKAP) entrance exam.  All other incoming students in grades 1 through 5 will be considered based on grades, test scores, discipline records and available space.  (A waiting list is presently in place).
