27 Sherwood LaneThe Cheri Riley Group features many luxury homes in the Atlanta area which are served by the highest quality school districts throughout the state of Georgia.  The Cobb County School District is truly a school system that prides itself on providing a top-notch education to all of its students.

Kathy Cox, Georgia’s State Superintendent of Schools, recently recognized numerous Cobb County Schools for their outstanding academic achievements, as well as improvements.  One school in particular, Walton High School, is truly soaring to new heights.  The school earned Achievement level recognition, which recognizes only ten schools with the highest percentage of students “exceeding standards” in 9th grade literature, American Literature, Biology, hsyical Science, and US History End of Course Tests. In addition, Walton gained attention with its impressive Georgia High School Graduation Test results, receiving Achievement level recognition in Math, English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Writing. Walton’s many accomplishments prove that the school is making significant strides in upholding its mission, which focuses on ensuring students are adequately prepared to meet their post-secondary goals, meeting the needs of the whole student, and more.

Georgia’s Distinguished Achievement Awards
are based on a variety of assessments, including the Spring 2009 Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT), Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GHSGT), End of Course Tests (EOCT), and state writing tests.  A complete list of schools honored for their impressive accomplishments can be found on the Georgia Department of Education’s website.

The Cobb County School District is the second largest school system throughout the state of Georgia, with over 106,000 students currently enrolled.  It is comprised of 68 elementary schools, 25 middle schools, and 16 high schools.
