Forsyth Scores High on Georgia's New Education Performance Measurement System

Forsyth County Schools is above average when it comes to Georgia's new College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), which replaces the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for the state.

The CCRPI measures schools and school districts as the new accountability system of measurement.

“For many months we have been curious as to what the state’s new accountability model, the CCRPI, would look like," said Forsyth County Schools’ Superintendent L.C. (Buster) Evans.

On the CCRPI each school receives a score out of 100 points. A school and district’s overall score is made up of three major areas: Achievement (70 points possible), Progress (15 points possible) and Achievement Gap (15 points possible).

"While I felt pretty confident that our district and school scores would compare quite well with other districts and schools in the state, I am pleased to see that the actual performance of our district well represents our schools being high level achievers in the overall score as well as the subcomponents on the index," Evans said.

In addition to the three major areas, some schools receive “Challenge Points” to add to their score (up to 10 points). They receive these points if they have a significant number of Economically Disadvantaged students, English Learner students and Students with Disabilities meeting expectations. They also receive points for going beyond the targets of the CCRPI by challenging students to exceed expectations and participate in college and career readiness programs.

"On one hand, this continues to affirm the outstanding work of our teachers, and school and district administrators, while on the other hand helping us identify areas where we can continue to target and align our resources to affect even higher achievement," said Evans. "I want to congratulate our personnel for continuing to perform at levels that help all students achieve. We have much to be proud of, and we will continue to evaluate the results which all of our community should be pleased with."
