Calhoun High School’s Class of 2025 has once again showcased outstanding academic achievement, outperforming both state and national peers on the ACT, according to the latest results released by the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE).
For the ninth consecutive year, Georgia students as a whole have exceeded the national average on the ACT. “We are nearing a decade of Georgia students beating the national average on the ACT, with similar results on the SAT,” said State School Superintendent Richard Woods. “Despite the challenges public schools across the country have faced over the last decade, our students continue to outperform the national average – our teachers, school leaders, families, and students should take great pride in that accomplishment. At the state level, we will continue to work to ensure our schools, districts, and teachers have the resources they need to continue producing great outcomes and successful futures for students.”
Calhoun High School contributed to this statewide success, with its Class of 2025 earning an impressive average composite score of 20.7, surpassing the national average of 19.4.
“We are very proud of our Class of 2025,” said Dr. Allison Eubanks, Principal of Calhoun High School. “The performance of our students on the ACT reflects their dedication and the unwavering support they receive from our teachers, their families, and our community. At Calhoun, we work hard to create an environment where every student can reach their full potential, and these results demonstrate that our collective efforts are paying off.”
Calhoun students performed especially well in Science and Reading, posting average scores of 21.1 and 22.0, respectively — both well above national averages of 20.0. Additionally, the percentage of Calhoun students meeting ACT College Readiness Benchmarks in all subject areas exceeded national figures, particularly in Science and Reading.
All reported scores represent the performance of 2025 high school graduates who took the ACT during their sophomore, junior, or senior years.
