June 1, 2016 – The Georgia Department of Education
today released the 2015 School Climate Star Ratings. The ratings are based on
survey results and data from the 2014-2015 school year.
School climate
refers to the quality and character of school life – the “culture” of a school.
A sustainable, positive school climate fosters youth development and student
learning, which are essential elements for academic success, career-skill
improvement and overall quality of life. The School Climate Star Rating helps
determine whether a school is on the right path to school improvement.
Each school in
Georgia received a 1-5 star ratings, with five stars representing an excellent
school climate, and one star representing a school climate most in need of
improvement. School Climate Star Ratings are an informational tool for schools,
administrators, and parents; they do not affect the school’s College &
Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) score.
Interpretations
of the star ratings are below; this information can also be found in the School Climate
Law.
'5-star'
schools ranked excellent according to the school climate index;
'4-star'
schools ranked above average according to the school climate index;
'3-star'
schools ranked average according to the school climate index;
'2-star'
schools ranked below satisfactory according to the school climate index, or
'1-star'
schools ranked unsatisfactory according to the school climate index.
