Bibb CCRPI Scores Show Students Working Towards Improvement

Thursday, December 21st, 2023

The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) released 2023 College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) scores on Thursday, December 14. The scores show Bibb students continue to make strides toward improvements, especially as the District works to recover lost learning time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the second time CCRPI scores have been released since before the pandemic. As such, data comparability is impacted in some categories. Notes on comparability are detailed below.

“Bibb County’s students continue to make academic gains as evidenced by the majority of our schools showing growth in the area of Content Mastery,” Assistant Superintendent of Teaching & Learning Dr. Cleveland Johnson said. “While we are proud of the improved performance of our students as well as the dedication of our teachers, we are aware of the need for continued improvement. The school district will continue to work collaboratively with parents/guardians and the greater community to ensure that student achievement is maximized.”

State: Removal of 100-Point Scale Avoids Oversimplifying School Performance

The CCRPI no longer includes an overall, 0-100 score for schools, districts, or the state. This change was first implemented in 2022 under an addendum received from the U.S. Department of Education and made permanent this year under an amendment to Georgia’s Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) plan. Information about the changes approved under this amendment is available here.

 

Mission: The BCSD maximizes student achievement and social-emotional well-being by building a sense of community in safe, equitable learning environments. Vision: Students are empowered to learn, lead, innovate, and serve as productive and caring citizens within their chosen paths of success.

Each CCRPI component – Content Mastery, Progress, Closing Gaps, Readiness, and Graduation Rate for high schools – still has a 0-100 score. The change was made to increase transparency and provide a more complete picture of school performance, ensuring that challenges and opportunities are not hidden behind a single score.
