PROJECT 2400
created in 2006, is a strategic partnership between the Cobb Chamber of
Commerce and the Cobb County and Marietta City school districts to help
enhance our students SAT scores.
Cobb County and Marietta City schools fare well
compared to other systems in the U.S. and Georgia, however, many
students lag behind or miss out on an opportunity to attend their
college of choice due to low test scores.
Wanting to prepare our students in the best possible
way for the test, which is now based on a score of 2400, the Cobb
Chamber helped fund Project 2400 which provided an SAT preparation
course to 273 deserving students in 16 schools.

2007 Project 2400
Results: |
|
• 205 students took the Princeton Review’s diagnostic test and
the SAT.
• 74% of the students scored higher on their SAT than their
diagnostic test.
• Students scored up to 520 points higher than on their
diagnostic test. The average score increase from the diagnostic
test to the SAT was 95 points. |
PROJECT 2400
was well received and got excellent reviews from our educators.
“Any increase is great and Project 2400 clearly made a difference,” says
Leigh Colburn, principal of Marietta High School.
PROJECT 2400's
goal is to make a difference for as many students as possible, extending
the SAT preparation course to help our 2009 graduates.
