2013 CRCT Performance Index Honor Roll
We have analyzed and synthesized school-level results from Georgia's 2013 Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT).
The Georgia DOE published results from its system-level analysis on June 25, 2013.
Our Approach
We analyzed all 1800+ Georgia schools whose students took the CRCTs using the following two measures:
Performance Index = Sum of schoolwide "meets & exceeds" rates for each of the 5 CRCTs (English & Language Arts, Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies)
Gain (Loss) = Sum of the increase (decrease) of schoolwide "meets & exceeds" rates for each CRCT
Data => Information
Several key findings regarding independent startup charter schools emerged from the data ...
