Four high schools in East Cobb are among the Top 25 in Georgia in overall Scholastic Aptitude Test results for the Class of 2024, according to data released Wednesday by the Georgia Department of Education.
Walton (1249), Pope (1194), Lassiter (1182) and Wheeler (1167) led the Cobb County School District, whose overall mean score of 1105 was the best for a large school district in metro Atlanta.
The SAT is administered every spring for seniors, who are tested on evidence-based reading and writing and math, and the maximum score is 1,600.
Walton’s “mean score” was fifth in the state, Pope’s was 11th, Lassiter’s was 13th and Wheeler’s was tied for 21st, according to state education figures.
For the most part, those results are only slightly different from the Class of 2023. Pope’s overall mean of 1194 was a 15-point improvement from 2023.
The Cobb school district said in a release that its “average for the evidence-based reading and writing section was 565 out of a maximum of 800, 2 points higher than in 2023. The district average for the math section was 540 out of a maximum of 800, 1 point lower than in 2023.”
