Forsyth County Schools' student performance on the 2008-2009 ACT ranked number one in Georgia and exceed national scores for all content areas.

The ACT is a curriculum-based college entrance exam that is universally accepted by four-year colleges and universities. Unlike the SAT, which is an aptitude test, the ACT measures what a student has learned as a result of high school coursework in English, reading, math, and science.
Additionally, FCS had a 17.5% increase in the number of students participating in the ACT, almost twice the number taking the test since 2005.
