ATLANTA- Governor Sonny Perdue and State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox today released the names of the 25 Georgia schools with the highest SAT scores. They also released the names of the schools with the best performance on each portion of the test.
“Congratulations to the students, parents, faculty and administrators at these schools who scored in the top 25 in the state,” said Governor Sonny Perdue. “These schools are setting an example for the state of Georgia and illustrating to the nation the high quality education that Georgia students are receiving every day.”
Superintendent Cox said the SAT results at these schools are the culmination of years of great work by educators and students.
"This type of SAT performance doesn't happen by accident," she said. "These schools are doing whatever it takes to make sure their students are ready for the SAT and ready for post-secondary education."
The Governor and the Superintendent reminded all high school students that they can take a free online SAT Prep Class through the College Board, which administers the test. The Online SAT Prep class features drills, practice questions and several full-length tests that students can submit for scoring.
"This is a great tool that students can use to prepare," Superintendent Cox said. "I'd encourage all high school students -- even if they aren't taking the SAT this year -- to get their passcode and begin practicing."
To register for the Online SAT Prep Class, public school students should get a registration number from their guidance counselor or principal's office. Private and home school students should go to http://public.doe.k12.ga.us/ci_iap_satap.aspx and look in the "resources" box on the right side of the page.
Note: Results are for 2007 seniors at each school based on their most recent score on the test. To be on the list, a school had to have at least 25 students with SAT scores.
