- Startup charter schools in Atlanta, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett had higher percentages of their students meet or exceed 2012 CRCT (Criterion Referenced Competency Test) standards than the traditional schools in those districts?
- 3 Georgia startup charter schools had 100% of its students meet or exceed standards on the Math I EOCT (End-of-Course Test) during 2011-2012?
- Microsoft Excel pivot tables can be used to quickly and easily organize and summarize large volumes of data into simple tables (and graphs)? (SEE EXAMPLE BELOW)
