CARROLLTON, GA – Carrollton High School has been recognized with a prestigious College Success Award from GreatSchools, the nation’s leading nonprofit providing school information to parents and families. The annual recognition honors schools that excel at preparing students to enroll and succeed in college.
Carrollton High School is one of 1,436 high schools across 19 states, including 104 in Georgia, to earn the College Success Award this year. The award honors schools with a proven track record of graduating students who enroll in two- or four-year colleges, are prepared for college-level coursework and continue into their second year.
“We are grateful to have dedicated teachers who are committed to supporting all students and their future goals,” said CHS Principal Ian Lyle. “Carrollton prioritizes preparing every student for post-secondary success, and we are proud of our students and their academic and career aspirations.”
The CHS graduation class of 2024 boasted a 91 percent graduation rate with 75 percent pursuing two- or four-year degrees. The school’s commitment to post-secondary preparation is evident as more than 256 students earned accelerated credit through dual enrollment, Advanced Placement (AP), and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses prior to graduation. These experiences equip CHS graduates with the confidence to successfully transition to college.
“We applaud Carrollton High School for prioritizing a high-quality public education that puts students on the path to bright futures,” said Jon Deane, CEO of GreatSchools, “Congratulations to all of the schools who received this award as proof of their hard work and dedication.”
