East Cobb Middle School named Georgia ‘Reward School’

New East Cobb Middle School

The Georgia Department of Education has named East Cobb Middle School a “Reward School” for its progress in academic achievement results.

Title I schools that are in the top 10 percent of performance improvements are given Reward School status.

East Cobb Middle School posted a 14.6-percent increase in the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) for the 2018-2019 school year, from 67.1 percent to 82.7 percent.

ECMS got a 100 score in a measurement related to closing performance gaps.

According to the Cobb County School District, “the recognized schools also maintain the performance of their economically disadvantaged students, students with disabilities, and English learners.”

ECMS is one of 11 schools in the Cobb district to be granted Reward School status and the only one in the East Cobb area. The others are in the South Cobb area.

The CCRPI results were issued last October, and East Cobb schools are listed here.
