The district surpassed Georgia’s scores in 12 out of 13 measurements and matched in the remaining one.
Board member David Chastain commented, “Across every subject and grade level, Cobb students are achieving remarkable gains because our teachers can focus on what truly matters—teaching. The success happening daily in Cobb classrooms is a direct result of our community’s investment and will continue to pay off for years to come.”
