What’s in a number?
CCRPI provides one set of measurable indicators that describe student opportunities and outcomes.
CCRPI scores…
can be personal to a school
can be a source of pride or frustration
can highlight both strengths and areas for improvement
can be the same…but mean something different

22. What’s in a number? Lots of things!
HIGHLIGHTS
What’s in a number?
Lots of things!
We must dig into the numbers to deepen our understanding.
We must ask questions.
The numbers provide information – they do not provide the root causes or tell us what action to take.
Do not forget – while CCRPI may focus on numbers, we cannot forget that every number represents a Georgia learner!

23. Key Take-Aways HIGHLIGHTS
The redesigned CCRPI is based on two years of stakeholder feedback and the work of the ESSA Accountability Working Committee.
2018 CCRPI scores cannot be compared to previous years; however, some data points (such as performance on state assessments and graduation rates) can be compared.
Look beyond the overall score and consider the whole story. The redesigned CCRPI paints a richer picture of performance by considering achievement; growth; subgroup improvement; readiness for the next grade, course, or college or career; and graduation rate.
The new reporting system makes it easier for stakeholders to access scores and dig into the underlying data.
The redesigned CCRPI is about understanding performance and working together to promote improvement. Every school will have successes to celebrate and areas for improvement!
