Parents:
The Georgia Department of Education has released the
2011-2012 College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) scores for the DeKalb County
School District
Each school's CCRPI Score is comprised of data that comes
from one of three categories: the Achievement Score, the Progress Score, and
the Achievement Gap Score. Additionally,
schools may obtain up to ten “bonus points” from data associated with the
Challenge Points Score.

The Achievement Score carries 70% of the weight of the
overall CCRPI Score. It is comprised of
fourteen indicators for elementary and middle schools and nineteen indicators
for high schools. These indicators are
basic proficiency calculations with the number of students identified as
"proficient" as a numerator and the total number of students
participating in the indicator as a denominator.
The Progress Score is 15% of the overall CCRPI Score and
compares student growth. This score uses
the Student Growth Percentile (SGP) to compare student growth on state
assessments against other similar students.
The Achievement Gap Score is also 15% of the overall CCRPI
Score. The state awards points based
upon the highest value of two measurements.
The first measures the gap between the school's lowest quartile of
performance on standardized tests against a state mean. The smaller the gap, the greater number of
points awarded to the school. The state
also measures the change in performance gaps from year to year to determine if
the gap size mentioned above decreases from the previous year to the current
measured year.
The Challenge Points are "bonus points" that
schools can earn through two measurements.
The first measurement is a review of how well the school's Economically
Disadvantaged (ED), English Learners (EL), and Students With Disabilities (SWD)
subgroups are doing at meeting state performance targets on standardized
tests. The second measurement is a
review of additional proficiency indicators that look at how well the school is
preparing the student for college and career readiness.
The CCRPI is a much different
calculation than the one associated with AYP.
Multiple indicators and data are utilized to develop a well-rounded
measurement of a school's performance.
Please visit the Georgia Department of Education’s website at http://public.doe.k12.ga.us/Pages/Home.aspx for greater detail on each of the scores
above, and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Evansdale looks
forward to using this data to improve student achievement and overall school
success!
Respectfully,
Dan McGuire, Principal
