Glynn County Schools' (GCSS) Division of Teaching and Learning department believes students deserve the highest quality instruction every day. GCSS is committed to delivering the highest quality supports to our teachers and leaders as they work daily with our students. Your child will take district and state assessments that provide valuable information to families and educators to show whether students have mastered grade-level content and are on track to graduate college and career ready. Results from these assessments inform where Glynn County Schools can improve curriculum, instruction and leadership in order to ensure that Every Child Succeeds.
