performance
on state measure
A heightened focus on a deeper level of learning during the 2014-15 school year has allowed Carrollton City Schools to set a new system-wide mark in the four-year measures produced by the Georgia Department of Education. The measure, known as College and Career Readiness Performance Index, or CCRPI, is Georgia's statewide accountability system.
Carrollton High School's 84.8 score was an improvement over the prior year's results, led all Carroll County high schools and was well above the state average of 75.8 percent. The Carrollton Middle School report, which reflects grade six, showed a significant move and is now ranked second county-wide. CHS saw an impressive 91 percent increase in the EL/ED/SWD subgroups over the prior year. Fourth and fifth graders in those same subgroups increased 78.4 percent.
"We've worked very hard to close the gaps for all learners and it is paying off," said Dr. Mark Albertus, incoming superintendent of Carrollton City Schools and outgoing principal of CHS. "Gains of 91 percent and 78.4 percent don't happen by chance. The focused intensity of our teachers, parents and students is what has driven these gains. We will continue moving forward to produce even better results."
"The Science, Technology, Engineering and Math curriculum, which is infused in classrooms from PreK to 12th grade, contributed to our students again exceeding state and subgroup categories in science," said Anna Clifton, director of School Improvement/Curriculum and Instruction. "We are also excited to see our students' math achievement given the work our teachers and families have committed to it. At Carrollton City Schools, our students exceeded the state targets for being proficient and distinguished learners, which are the state's recognized top two categories."
CCRPI was implemented in 2012 to replace No Child Left Behind's Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) measurement, after the U.S. Department of Education granted Georgia's waiver from NCLB.
