District leaders presented schools today with banners celebrating outstanding performance ratings on the Georgia 2025 College and Career Ready Performance Index. Congratulations to Belwood Elementary for their district-level achievements in Closing Gaps and ELL Proficiency!
#ExtraordinaryGCS #ExtraordinaryBES

CCRPI scores are calculated using multiple indicators that measure student achievement, progress, readiness, and closing gaps. A key component of the CCRPI is student performance and growth on state assessments, including the Georgia Milestones End-of-Grade (EOG) and End-of-Course (EOC) tests. Additional factors include graduation rates, progress of English Learners, and indicators of college and career readiness.

Closing Gaps: Measures how well a school is improving performance among all student groups, especially those that have historically underperformed. It emphasizes equity and ensures all students are making gains.

English Learner (ELL) Proficiency: Evaluates the progress of English learners in developing English language skills, using the ACCESS for ELLs assessment.
