This year, six of the district’s high schools performed better than the state average, with DeKalb School of the Arts (1670), Chamblee Charter High School (1647) and Dunwoody High School (1610) leading districtwide scoring.

The scores are from the old version of the test, with reading, writing and math sections scored up to 2400.
