Georgia Department of Education Releases CCRPI Scores
The Georgia Department of Education released 2017-2018 school district College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) scores. This is the first year of the Redesigned CCRPI. Due to changes in CCRPI components and indicators, as well as weighting of components, an apples-to-apples comparison of CCRPI scores from 2017 to 2018 cannot be made. However, state CCRPI averages for 2017-2018 help gauge how our district and individual schools are performing. Performance was based on the following indicators: Content Mastery, Progress, Closing Gaps, Readiness, and Graduation Rate. The chart below shows how Monroe County Schools performed against state CCRPI averages.
