The
State of Georgia has developed a survey for parents, personnel,
and students to take in order to calculate each school's School
Climate Star Rating as
part of the College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI).
The CCRPI index is how schools are rated in our state. Survey
results are anonymous and will be submitted directed to the
Georgia Department of Education for analysis. Data results will
not be available to the public and will not be posted online.
Participation in the survey is not mandatory, but more
participation will result in more accurate results for our
school.
Please
take a few moments to complete the parent survey at the
following link using your personal computer, smartphone, or
iPad. If you do not have Internet access, please call the
school and we will arrange for you to have access through our
computer lab. The survey has 20 questions and should take
no longer than 5-10 minutes to complete.
Thank you for all you do for our school and community.
Please direct all Synergy ParentVUE
requests/issues to Dr. Lombardi at
joe.lombardi@cobbk12.org.

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
