FCS Tops State Averages, CCRPI Reports for 2013 and 2012

From Forsyth County Schools

The College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), a new statewide accountability system based on 2012 school year data, was launched as a "study year" in May 2013. After that release, the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) received valuable feedback from its education partners and the public. Based on this feedback, GaDOE staff members have revised and refined the CCRPI to make a more meaningful report.

We have been anxiously awaiting our schools’ CCRPI scores for some time," shared Buster Evans, superintendent of Forsyth County Schools. "We knew that the continuous changes in how the CCRPI calculations are made as well as other changes impacting our schools would be reflected in the scores. Overall, I am excited to see Forsyth County Schools performing at for the most part higher than the previous year’s reports. Additionally, several of our schools report out among the top schools in Georgia. While our high school averages were the only grade cluster that went down, this appears to mirror what happened pretty much in other districts with their being a slight drop in scores at that level.  As always, we will use this data as one set of performance indicators for our schools and district.  We will find ways to celebrate as we look at the scores, and we will find further opportunities to improve at the school and district level."
