Math and English cover a variety of topics each year, in preparation for the Georgia Milestones Test at the end of the year. Crews students earn higher scores on the test than other schools across the state. Each year, the scientists studied is just one branch. 6th-grade students study earth science (rocks, meteorology, oceanography, and astronomy); 7th-grade students study life science (mostly biology, some ecology); and 8th-grade students study high school physical science (physics and chemistry), and have the option to earn high school credit for the class. Social studies is done in a similar fashion.
