Summary
District staff presented results showing the class of 2025 averaged a 1,091 composite SAT score (up 32 points from 2024) and an ACT composite of 22.6, both above state and national averages. Participation and testing trends were discussed, including 328 SAT test takers (under half of the senior class).
"It was another job well done for the class of 2025," Mr. Benson said as he opened the presentation of SAT and ACT results to the board.
District staff reported a Glynn County SAT composite average of 1,091 for the class of 2025, up 32 points from 1,059 for the class of 2024 and the second-highest mark in the seven-year series presented. Reading and writing averaged 566 and math averaged 525, producing the composite total. Staff said 328 seniors took the SAT in 2025, which is less than half of the senior class.
Staff presented comparative context: the Georgia state SAT average cited in the presentation was 1,029, putting Glynn County about 62 points above that state figure; county results were also above national averages used by the district for comparison. In the district'prepared comparisons, Glynn County ranked first in evidence-based reading and writing and second in math within their comparison set.
For the ACT, the district reported a composite of 22.6 compared with a state average of 21.4 and a national average of 19.4. Staff noted that both SAT and ACT participation rose in 2025 and that, unusually, scores and participation rose together rather than scores dropping when more students participated.
Board members asked about test-taker splits between SAT and ACT, the rise in participation, super-scoring practices and school-level instructional changes. Staff attributed gains to stronger tier 1 instruction, realignment of teachers and improved content-mastery results at several schools. The transcript records questions and clarifications but does not show a formal board vote on the assessment presentation.
