“Our students continue to outperform their peers on state and national assessments, like the SAT, because of our One Team’s commitment to academics and student success. Despite the pandemic, both in-person and virtual learning options for students are continuing to bring success as a result of our awesome teachers performing above and beyond each day,” said Cobb County School District Superintendent Chris Ragsdale.

Considerable drop in SAT test takers in the district

5283 Cobb students took the SAT test in 2020, compared with 3,451 this year, a drop of 1,832.

This is consistent with the national drop in SAT test takers between 2020 and 2021.

“While the College Board does not release participation percentages at the national level, the raw numbers show a decline in participation at the national level as well: 1.5 million students in the high school class of 2021 took the SAT at least once, down from 2.2 million in the class of 2020,” a press release from the Georgia Department of Education stated.
