State report card
Georgia grades schools with the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), which the Georgia Department of Education calls “Georgia’s annual tool for measuring how well schools, districts, and the state are preparing students for the next educational level,” according to its accountability page. Scores run from 0 to 100. The state’s 2025 School Grades data carries a score, not a letter grade, for each school.
| Report year | CCRPI score |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 93.3 |
| 2024 | 90.4 |
| 2023 | 89.4 |
The 2025 score breaks down into content mastery 99.3, progress 85.7, closing gaps 94.1 and readiness 96.8, each a component score out of 100. In reading, 70.8% of third graders and 83.3% of fifth graders scored at or above the midpoint of the state’s grade-level Lexile range.
Georgia Milestones, 2025 end-of-grade tests (share of tested students at the proficient and distinguished levels):
| Subject | Proficient | Distinguished |
|---|---|---|
| English language arts | 43.6% | 35.3% |
| Math | 38.3% | 45.4% |
| Science (fifth grade) | 39.6% | 27.4% |
