On Wednesday, the Georgia Department of Education released partial results of the 2022 College and Career Ready Performance Index, its primary academic performance measurement tool.
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 2022, only content mastery and readiness were scored, as well as graduation rates for high schools.
Individual schools also did not receive an overall score. That’s because state received a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education from scoring schools on a 0-100 scale, saying that data was limited due to closures and disruptions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Several East Cobb schools at all grade levels scored among the best in Cobb in the two categories that were scored.
Students at nine schools scored a perfect 100 in content mastery, which “includes student scores on state assessments in English Language Arts, mathematics, science, and social studies,” according to the state education department.
Those schools are East Side, Mt. Bethel, Mountain View, Murdock, Sope Creek, Timber Ridge and Tritt elementary schools, Dodgen Middle School and Walton High School.
The content mastery calculation is unchanged from 2019, the last year the Georgia Department of Education is recommending that comparisons be made.
The state education department release said that results of the Georgia Milestones test, which forms the basis for the content mastery score, are up from 2021.
Those East Cobb. schools also scored 90 percent or higher in readiness, as did Dickerson, Hightower Trail and Mabry middle schools and Lassiter High School.
At the elementary- and middle-school level, readiness “includes literacy scores and data on the percentage of students passing ‘Beyond the Core’ instruction,” according to Georgia DOE, comprised of fine arts, world language, and computer science. The middle school level includes those ares plus physical education/health and career exploratory.
High-school readiness areas includes literacy scores, pathway completion data, and accelerated enrollment data.
In the Cobb County School District, elementary school students scored 73 percent in content mastery and 78.3 percent in readiness.
Middle-school level scores were 79.6 and 79 percent, and at the high school level they were 71.1 and 80.6 percent.
In a release, the Cobb school district said its all-level content mastery score was 14.9 percent higher than the state average and the readiness score was 5.8 percent higher than the state average.
Content mastery scores statewide are down to 64.7 percent, compared to 70 percent in 2019.
Cobb’s graduation rate of 88.2 percent is 3.5 percentage points ahead of the state average, according to the release. The College and Career Readiness metric was not included in the 2022 report due to incomplete data, according to the state education department.
The Georgia Department of Education said 2022 scores will form the baseline for evaluating academic progress.
