Schools at all grade levels in East Cobb turned in some of the best results in the county in the 2024 College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) scores collected by the Georgia Department of Education.
Students at several elementary, middle and high school levels in East Cobb excelled in particular in the content mastery area, according to data released last week by the state.
The CCRPI is a comprehensive indicator that includes content mastery, progress, closing performance gaps and readiness. It takes in an array of standardized test scores and other metrics.
For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, all of those areas were collected and analyzed. At the high school level, graduation rates also were included in the formula.
The Cobb County School District said in a release that the district exceeded state results in 12 of 13 measurements, with a double-digit lead or more the state average in content mastery at the middle school and high school level.
Cobb elementary students outpaced metro Atlanta peers in content mastery, progress and readiness, and matched them in closing the gaps.
Middle school students in Cobb also surpassed others in the area in all four categories, and high school students in Cobb did likewise, including an overall graduation rate of 88.8 percent.
Readiness scores also rose in Cobb in 2024, reflecting Georgia Milestones in literary metrics and other tests indicating students are prepared for the next academic level.
The CCRPI is Georgia’s way of complying with the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which requires states to have a statewide accountability system that includes information on how well schools are performing.
Here’s how they break down, per the Georgia Department of Education:
-
Content Mastery includes student scores on statewide assessments in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.
-
Progress measures how much growth students demonstrate in English language arts and mathematics and how well English learners are progressing toward English language proficiency.
-
Closing Gaps measures how well schools meet annual improvement targets for student subgroups.
-
Readiness includes literacy scores; student attendance; the percentage of students succeeding in “beyond the core” instruction; accelerated enrollment; pathway completion; and measures of college and career readiness.
-
Graduation Rate includes both the 4- and 5-year graduation rate and is a component for high schools.
CCRPI no longer includes an overall score for school districts, schools or the state. Last year, a new state law was passed in Georgia requiring the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) to calculate a single score for schools and districts.
