The Georgia Department of Education today released the 2022 College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) reports.
Under a waiver received from the U.S. Department of Education, the 2022 CCRPI does not include an overall, 0-100 score for schools, districts, or the state, and additional modifications were made to account for data limitations resulting from the pandemic.
About the 2022 CCRPI Reports
Today’s reports include scores for three CCRPI components:
- Content Mastery includes student scores on state assessments in English Language Arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. No changes were necessary compared to the 2019 calculation.
- Readiness at the elementary- and middle-school level includes literacy scores and data on the percentage of students passing “Beyond the Core” instruction. Beyond the Core at the elementary level includes fine arts, and world languages, and computer science, and at the middle school level fine arts, world languages, physical education/health, career exploratory, and computer science. At the high-school level, Readiness includes literacy scores, pathway completion data, and accelerated enrollment data.
- Graduation Rate is reported at the high-school level. See BCSS Grad Rate >
While the Readiness indicator typically includes student attendance at all grade levels, the U.S. Department of Education approved Georgia’s request to remove this indicator for 2022, given the impact of illness and quarantines. Additionally, College and Career Readiness – which is typically included in the high-school Readiness score – is not included due to incomplete data.
As outlined in Georgia’s waiver request, the Progress and Closing Gaps indicators were not calculated for 2022 due to data limitations resulting from the pandemic. 2022 results will be used to set new baselines for these indicators. English learners’ progress toward English language proficiency is reported.

About the CCRPI
Under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), each U.S. state is required to have a “statewide accountability system” that provides information on how well schools are performing. The CCRPI meets that requirement in Georgia.
Georgia, along with other states, requested and received approval to pause accountability reporting in 2020 and 2021 due to the impacts of the pandemic. In 2022, the U.S. Department of Education invited each state to submit an addendum to its state ESSA plan outlining one-year modifications to its accountability plan because of pandemic-related data limitations.
