The Georgia Department of Education recently released 2022 ACT scores for public school districts with positive news for the state and for Habersham County Schools.
Habersham Central’s Class of 2022 achieved an average composite score of 22, beating the state average of 21.6 and the national average of 19.8.
Habersham also posted the highest average composite score for school systems in the northeast Georgia Pioneer RESA district.
On a broader scale, Habersham County School System’s Class of 2022 scored in the top 10% of all Georgia public school systems with reported average scores, according to information released by the school district.
“As superintendent, I am very proud of the scores Habersham Central High School has posted on the 2022 ACT,” says superintendent of schools Matthew Cooper. “Habersham County is the 2022 ACT champion in our region! I am proud that Habersham County ranks #1 of the 14 school systems in our region.”
Cooper calls the achievement “something that our entire community can be very proud of.”
“This kind of performance by our high school students is nothing short of exceptional. I commend our students, parents, teachers, and administrators for this fantastic accomplishment on the 2022 ACT.”
HCHS Principal Jonathan Stribling agreed.
“Having the highest average composite score in the RESA is worth celebrating and reaffirms the fact that our students are leaving high school well-prepared for postsecondary education and productive careers.”
The ACT is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities to measure a high school student’s readiness for college.
