The CCRPI is Georgia's statewide accountability system to measure schools and school districts on a 100-point scale based on multiple indicators of performance.
As part of the CCRPI reports, the Georgia Department of Education also released the 2019 School Climate Star Ratings (a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest) for local schools. While it is reported alongside the CCRPI, it is not included in the calculation that produces school and district CCRPI scores. 19 Forsyth County schools scored a 4, while 18 schools scored a 5 on the Climate Star Rating.
