2023 SAT Graduation Cohort Results
Columbus, GA -The Muscogee County School District’s 2023 SAT Graduation Cohort results were released in an announcement by the Georgia Department of Education earlier today. District results surpassed both the state and nation in all categories.
Dr. David F. Lewis, Superintendent of Education, shared, “I am pleased that our district’s scores surpassed the state and national averages in all three categories (Reading/Writing, Math, and Composite) while testing roughly the same number of students as last year. These results represent our district’s second-highest performance to date, other than those in 2021 when fewer students participated due to the pandemic. I am grateful for the hard-working educators, students, and engaged parents who help our students reach their full potential.
We will continue to guide our students to complete the recommended coursework and provide opportunities for students to prepare for the exam through SAT Prep classes provided at each high school and during the Summer Learning Experience.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the seventh year’s results of the revised version of the SAT. The redesigned SAT features items to test higher-level logic and reasoning skills in reading, writing, and math and has a different scoring scale from previous versions. Each year, there is a different cohort of students who take the SAT, which makes it difficult to draw a comparison from one year to the next. In addition, results are contingent upon the level of coursework students pursue prior to the test administration. Since the SAT and American College Testing (ACT) allow students to sit for the exam regardless of coursework, results can vary from year to year.
