CHEROKEE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT POSTS HIGHEST SAT DISTRICT AVERAGE IN THE STATE FOR 2012

September 26, 2012 – The Cherokee County School District has posted the highest SAT district average score in the State of Georgia for 2012, based on an analysis of statewide data released on Monday by the State Department of Education and the College Board.
While internal analysis had shown the CCSD score, a 28-point increase from the 2011 average total, was the highest in the District’s history, a review of the scores across the state reveals CCSD to have the highest district-wide average as well, with a total score of 1587. The next closest district average for 2012 is 1580 (Fulton County).
SCHOOL SYSTEM

“Congratulations to the students, parents, teachers and administrators on making Cherokee County School District No. 1 in the State of Georgia,” said Dr. Frank R. Petruzielo, Superintendent of Schools. “What is important about this distinction is that it shows our school district offers consistent academic quality throughout the county. Among our high schools, the difference from the highest to lowest SAT average this year is less than 50 points, which assures parents that no matter which high school their child attends, they are assured of having access to challenging coursework and academic rigor that will prepare them for the future.”
Among 450 high schools in Georgia, all five CCSD high schools ranked in the top 8 percent. Etowah HS was 16th in the state, followed by Cherokee HS at 23, Creekview HS at 25, Woodstock HS at 32 and Sequoyah HS at 35. All five schools posted an increase over 2011 scores. River Ridge HS will post its first SAT scores with its inaugural senior class in 2013.

Real Estate is good!

According to Bob, who is the leader of THE WOLF TEAM!!, there was some good real estate activity this past weekend on our team in the NW Atlanta area.  He personally was out showing an out of town buyer who was buying a standard house, not a distressed listing.  They wrote an offer last night.  
Bob referred another buyer to Tim, our buyer's agent.  
Bob said he is also expecting 2 offers this week on listings he has!  One he just listed a couple of weeks ago!
That's the kind of news we like to hear about, especially when the media is making it out so bad.  We all need to stay focused and remain positive in this economic climate.  We are thankful for what business we do have!
Below is one of our listings for sale.  Click here for more details of this lovely home.
