December 8,
2016 – The Georgia
Department of Education today released the College and Career Ready Performance
Index (CCRPI), based on data from the 2015-16 school year. The state score for
Georgia’s elementary schools was 71.7, with a score of 71.5 for middle schools,
75.7 for high schools, and an overall statewide score of 73.6.
The CCRPI is
Georgia’s statewide accountability system, implemented in 2012 to replace No
Child Left Behind’s Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) measurement, after the U.S.
Department of Education granted Georgia’s waiver from NCLB. It measures schools
and school districts on a 100-point scale based on multiple indicators of
performance.

A significant
year-to-year decrease was seen in the elementary school score, mostly due to
bonus point opportunities not being met for Economically Disadvantaged
students, English Learners, and Students with Disabilities. Each year, schools
can earn extra points if those student groups are meeting performance targets.
From the 2015 to 2016 school year, annually increasing targets were not met for
these elementary student groups, even though subgroup performance increased in
math, science, and social studies.
“These results
point to the need for continued intensive focus on the foundations in early
grades,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. “However, I don’t
believe the CCRPI captures all the great work happening in our schools. We have
seen improvements and, in some cases, record results on the ACT, SAT, and in
graduation rates. Through the process of developing Georgia’s state plan for
the Every Student Succeeds Act, we are evaluating what changes should be made
to our accountability system to better measure the overall achievements of our
schools.”
The GaDOE also
released Student Growth Model data for 2015-16. This is a metric designed to
help educators, parents, and other stakeholders better understand and analyze
the progress students make year to year. It provides a deeper look at student
growth by school and school district, providing answers to questions such as,
“Did students in this school grow more or less than academically similar
students across the state?” or “Are students growing as much in math as in
English Language Arts?”
