Great things are happening at GOC! Gwinnett County Public Schools recently released SAT scores for the Class of 2019 showing that Gwinnett test-takers continue the trend of outperforming their peers in Georgia and the nation. Gwinnett's average on the SAT topped state and national averages.
I am beyond excited and proud to report that GOC ranks 3rd in the district and 26th in the state! These scores validate the work of our teaching staff and students.
