Thirty-four Cobb Schools Recognized By State
For Improvement and Achievement

Thirty-four 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 2009-10 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 status under federal No Child Left Behind. 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 Greatest Gains award is given to schools that showed the greatest improvement in CRCT or GHSGT scores and had a significant percentage of students exceeding standards. The Cobb County winners are:

• Platinum: Austell Primary, Mabry Middle
• Silver: Austell Intermediate, Harmony-Leland Elementary

The Highest Performance award is given to schools that have a very high percentage of students meeting test standards. The Cobb County winners are:

• Platinum: Garrison Mill, Mt. Bethel, Murdock, Timber Ridge elementary schools; Dickerson Middle; Lassiter, Pope, Walton high schools
• Gold:  Davis, East Side, Mountain View, Rocky Mount, Shallowford Falls, Tritt elementary schools; Dodgen, Hightower Trail middle schools; Hillgrove High
• Silver:  Due West, Ford, Kemp, Sope Creek, Vaughan elementary schools; Simpson Middle; Harrison High
• Bronze: Addison, Bullard, Keheley, Kincaid, Pickett’s Mill elementary schools; Mabry Middle, Allatoona High

Mabry Middle School is one of just 17 schools in the state to be recognized for both Greatest Gains and Highest Performance.

The school recognitions are part of the state’s release of the 2009-10 K-12 Report Card, which provides data for Georgia’s preschools, K-12 schools and institutions of higher education. Information about the awards and the Report Card is available at The Governor’s Office for Student Achievement Web site at http://www.gaosa.org.
