The Cherokee County School System has developed and continues to foster educational programs that are producing results. In 2009, Cedar Bluff School was named one of "America's Best High Schools by U.S. News and World Report. This designation is given to schools that successfully provide educational opportunities for all students and is based in part by school test results, college preparedness programs, and performance of disadvantaged students.
