CCRPI is a comprehensive school improvement, accountability, and communication platform for all educational stakeholders that will promote college career readiness for all Georgia Public school students.

The College and Career Ready Performance Index is Georgia's annual tool for measuring how well its schools, districts, and the state itself are preparing students for the next educational level. It provides a comprehensive roadmap to help educators, parents, and community members promote and improve college and career readiness for all students.

The CCRPI includes five main components each scored on a scale of 0 to 100: Content Mastery, Progress, Closing Gaps, Readiness, and Graduation Rate (high school only). These components, encompassing multiple indicators, are combined for a total CCRPI score. The CCRPI also reports other information, such as performance of student subgroups, school climate, and financial efficiency status.

• Content Mastery

Are students achieving at the level necessary to be prepared for the next grade, college, and career?

Content Mastery includes achievement scores in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies based on student performance on state assessments. The achievement scores utilize weights based on achievement level to acknowledge the level of proficiency attained by each student. Achievement scores will be adjusted if the required 95% participation rate is not met.

• Progress

How much growth are students demonstrating relative to academically-similar students?

Progress utilizes Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs) to measure progress in both English language arts and mathematics. SGPs describe the amount of growth a student has demonstrated relative to academically-similar students. A third progress indicator measures the extent to which English Learners are making progress towards English language proficiency. Progress scores utilize weights based on growth level to acknowledge the level of growth demonstrated by each student.

• Closing Gaps

Are all students and all student subgroups making improvements in achievement rates?

Closing Gaps measures the extent to which all students and all student subgroups are meeting achievement improvement targets, defined as 3% of the gap between baseline performance and 100. A system of green, yellow, and red improvement flags will indicate the extent to which improvement targets were met.

• Readiness

Are students participating in activities that prepare them for and demonstrate readiness for the next level, college, or career?

Elementary and middle school readiness indicators include literacy, student attendance, and opportunities for enrichment beyond the traditional academic core. High school readiness indicators include literacy, student attendance, accelerated enrollment, pathway completion, demonstration of college and career readiness via multiple opportunities.

• Graduation Rate (high school only)

Are students graduating from high school with a regular diploma in four or five years?

The graduation rate includes both the four-and five-year adjusted cohort graduation rates. This emphasizes graduating in four years while placing value on continuing to work with and graduate students who need more time.
