Georgia Department of Education (GADOE) released on Tuesday the College & Career Ready Performance Index for public school districts and individual schools around Georgia. Based on CCRPI, a school or school system is graded out of a maximum 110 points based on various criteria. Grady’s CCRPI was 70.5, and APS high schools scored 60.3. To see the full results of CCRPI, visit GADOE’s website.

CCRPI is a comprehensive school improvement, accountability, and communication platform for all educational stakeholders that will promote college and career readiness for all Georgia public school students. This grading method replaced the Adequate Yearly Progress, which graded schools and school systems based on a pass-fail rubric. CCRPI grades are based on four things: achievement points, progress points, achievement-gap points and challenge points. The maximum score is a 110. Achievement points (maximum: 70 points) are awarded based on standardized test scores and graduation rates. Progress points  (maximum: 15 points) are awarded based on students’ progress over multiple state-mandated standardized tests. Achievement-gap points (maximum: 15 points) are awarded for closing or lessening achievement gaps on state tests and overall performance between school years. Challenge points (maximum: 10 points) are awarded to schools with a significant number of economically-disadvantaged students, English learners or students with disabilities meeting expectations.

Grady received 51.2 achievement points, 7.8 progress points, 10.3 achievement gap points and 1.2 challenge points.

APS high schools received 40.5 achievement points, 8.5 progress points, 11.3 achievement gap points and no challenge points.
