Sixteen of our schools have earned statewide honors in recognition of exceptional student success in mastering core academic skills! The Literacy Leader and Math Leader honors recognize schools for exceptional student achievement, growth, or both on the annual Georgia Milestones Assessment end-of-grade or end-of-course assessments. Fourteen CCSD schools are among the 479 statewide to be named 2024-2025 Math Leaders, with three CCSD schools among the 406 honored statewide as 2024-2025 Literacy Leaders.
