The College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) is Georgia’s statewide accountability system used to measure how well schools and districts are preparing students for success at the next grade level, graduation and postsecondary opportunities. CCRPI uses several types of data to measure how well Georgia schools are preparing students.
While CCRPI includes multiple indicators, most of the data comes from the Georgia Milestones Assessment System and graduation rates. Georgia Milestones is the state’s standardized testing program that measures how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in Georgia’s academic standards in grades 3–12. It includes end-of-grade (EOG) tests in ELA and math for grades 3–8, plus science and social studies in certain grades and end-of-course (EOC) tests for high school subjects.
The CCRPI evaluates multiple indicators of performance, including:
• Content Mastery – How well students perform on Georgia Milestones and other assessments
• Progress – How much academic growth students demonstrate from year to year
• Closing Gaps – How effectively schools support all student groups
• Readiness – Factors such as attendance, literacy, career readiness, and on-track measures
• Graduation Rate – For high schools, the four-year and five-year graduation rates
CCRPI provides a comprehensive picture of school and district performance and helps identify strengths, areas for improvement and progress toward ensuring all students are college and career ready.
The 2025 CCRPI results were released on November 12, 2025. The data reveals that Griffin-Spalding County Schools (GSCS) improved in 12 of the 13 components.
GSCS improved in:

GSCS Executive Director of Teacher and Leader Effectiveness Tracy Sims stated, “This progress is real, it’s measurable and it’s meaningful. GSCS is moving forward, and we are just getting started. This growth is a testament to the consistent, focused effort happening in every school. We are committed to building on this progress and ensuring that every student in GSCS has access to high-quality teaching and learning every day.”
GSCS | Year | Overall Score | Content Mastery | Progress | Closing Gaps | Readiness | Grad Rate 4 Year Cohort |
Elementary | 2025 | N/A | 47.7 (+3.7) | 87.5 (+5) | 100 (+15.6) | 78.6 (+3.3) | N/A |
Middle | 2025 | N/A | 44.5 (+3.5) | 85.3 (+6.3) | 84.4 (+67.7) | 74.1 (+0.6) | N/A |
High | 2025 | N/A | 47.3 (+1.8) | 74.5 (-3.6) | 76.6 (+34.9) | 68.7 (0.2) | 90.9 (+6.2) |
The 2025 CCRPI results reflect significant district-wide growth across multiple grade bands in GSCS. Elementary, middle and high schools all demonstrated meaningful improvement in key performance areas, showcasing the impact of focused instruction, strong leadership and targeted supports.
Elementary schools posted steady gains across every component, with a +3.7 increase in content mastery, a strong +5-point rise in progress, and an exceptional 100 in closing gaps, demonstrating improved outcomes for all student groups.
Middle schools also saw major growth, including a +3.5 jump in content mastery, +6.3 in progress, and an extraordinary +67.7-point increase in closing gaps, reflecting powerful acceleration for student subgroups.
At the high school level, GSCS continued its upward trend with improvements in content mastery, closing gaps and graduation rate, reaching a district-wide 90.9 percent four-year cohort graduation rate, a +6.2 increase from the prior year.
GSCS Interim Superintendent Dr. Donald Warren said, “These gains reflect the hard work of our teachers, leaders, students and families. While we still have work to do, this momentum shows that GSCS is on the path toward sustained improvement and we will continue pushing forward together. These results show what is possible when everyone is aligned and working with purpose. I am incredibly proud of our staff and students, and I know this is only the beginning of what GSCS will achieve.”
GSCS Board of Education Chairman R. Syntel Brown said, “It is good to see improvement in both content mastery and closing gaps for many of our schools with double-digit increases in many instances. I am proud of the continued efforts of our scholars and staff members.”
