The most recent release of Georgia Milestones scores marked the first time that many students across the state were assessed following the COVID-19 pandemic. Even with the challenges of the past few years, students across the Cobb County School District outperformed their state and large metro Atlanta peers. The results show:
- Cobb students scored higher than Georgia students in all subjects and in the percentage of students reading on grade level
- Among the CCSD’s large metro Atlanta peers, and across all subject areas, Cobb has the highest mean score on the Milestones
- Among the CCSD’s large metro Atlanta peers, Cobb has the highest % of students reading at or above grade level
- Among the CCSD’s large metro Atlanta peers, and across all subject areas, Cobb has the highest % of learners considered “developing and above” (levels 2-4).
- Among the CCSD’s large metro Atlanta peers, and across all EOC subject areas, Cobb has the highest % of learners considered “proficient and above” (levels 3-4)
“In Cobb, student success is our continuous One Goal. Our students are supported by the best Team who, data continues to show, make Cobb the best place to teach, lead, and learn. I could not be more proud of our teachers going above and beyond for our students," said Superintendent Chris Ragsdale.
