2012
and 2013 CCRPI Data available here in Excel Spreadsheet format: 2012, 2013
April 21, 2014 – The Georgia Department of Education today released the
second College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), based on data from the 2012 and 2013 school years.
Georgia’s elementary schools saw a one-year increase in scores from 74.9 to
78.5 (+3.6), middle schools saw a one-year increase in scores from 73.9 to 75.0
(+1.1) and high schools saw a one-year decrease in scores from 73.0 to 72.0
(-1.0).
The CCRPI is Georgia’s statewide accountability system,
implemented in 2012 to replace the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP) measurement, after the U.S. Department of Education granted
Georgia’s waiver from NCLB on Feb. 9, 2012. It measures schools and school
districts on an easy-to-understand 100-point scale, helping parents and the
public better understand how schools are performing in a more comprehensive
manner than the pass/fail system previously in place under AYP.
In addition to scores based on the 2013 school year,
recalculated scores for the 2012 school year were also released today. Since
the first “study year” of CCRPI implementation
in 2012, the State has received valuable feedback
from education partners and the public, and has revised and refined the CCRPI
to make a more meaningful report. The 2013 data was calculated reflecting
the new calculation, and the 2012 scores were recalculated applying the new
calculation methodology to the same 2012 data.
“Many
people have worked hard to make sure the CCRPI provides the most accurate,
effective measure possible of the work schools are doing to prepare students
for success,” Superintendent Barge said. “This is an index that is both
comprehensive and simple to understand, and it is an important component of our
efforts to ensure that all students graduate from high school ready for
whatever they choose to do, whether that be going to college, joining the
military, or immediately beginning a career.”
The updated calculations require schools and districts to meet
greater expectations to earn high scores. Comparisons between 2012 and 2013
results will only be valid using the recalculated results. Any comparison to
the “study year” will not compare “apples to apples” and will be invalid.
