Hightower Trail is Platinum!!!
Thirty-seven Cobb County schools have been honored for academic
success by the Georgia Department of Education and the
Governor’s Office of Student Achievement. The awards are based
on student performance on the Criterion-Referenced Competency
Tests (CRCT, for elementary and middle schools) and the Georgia
High School Graduation Tests (GHSGT, for high schools). These
state assessments help determine a school’s Adequate Yearly
Progress status. Each award has four honor levels – Platinum,
Gold, Silver and Bronze – that correspond to a school’s
consistent performance and Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
status.
The Highest Performance award is given to schools that have a
very high percentage of students meeting test standards.
We are proud to announce that
Hightower Trail has received Platinum status this year!
Congratulations also to the schools in our feeder
pattern: Mountain View: Gold
Murdock: Gold
Shallowford Falls: Gold
Tritt: Platinum
Pope: Platinum
