● 27 Cobb schools won 2005 Single Statewide Accountability System awards
from the Governor's Office and the Georgia Department of Education. These awards stem from
Georgia's statewide efforts to go beyond the requirements of "No Child Left Behind" by pursuing
a higher standard of excellence in student achievement. Schools are recognized for having the
Greatest Gains in percentage of students meeting or exceeding standards, and for having 95 percent
or more students reaching these marks.
In the "Greatest Gains" category, Daniell Middle School received the Gold award for
progress in student achievement.
26 schools from all three levels were included on the SSAS "Highest Percentage" award list.
These include Addison, Bullard, Davis, Due West, East Side, Ford, Garrison Mill, Kemp, Mt. Bethel,
Mountain View, Murdock, Rocky Mount, Shallowford Falls, Sope Creek, Still, Timber Ridge, Tritt and

● The AVID Center granted national certification to Griffin and Lindley middle
schools and Campbell, Kell, North Cobb, Osborne, South Cobb and Sprayberry high schools in Winter
2006. AVID (which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a program that encourages
5th through 12th graders to enroll in advanced content courses, better preparing them for higher
education. While students are being challenged, they are also supported by an academic elective
course that provides further guidance from an AVID-certified educator. The goal is to open more
doors to college for more Cobb students.
● Wheeler High School’s media program was named 2005 Exemplary High
School Library Media Program by the Georgia Department of Education. The state bestows this
