Gordon County Schools is proud to report significant improvements across multiple metrics in Georgia's 2024 College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI). These achievements highlight the district’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence and student growth at every grade level.
The CCRPI measures progress in five critical areas: Content Mastery, Progress, Closing Gaps, Readiness, and Graduation Rate. This year, GCS demonstrated remarkable growth across several categories, reinforcing its dedication to creating well-rounded opportunities for students.
The district showed strong gains in Content Mastery, with improvements in English Language Arts (ELA) and Social Studies across all grade levels and high school science achieving notable growth. Additionally, the district excelled in the Progress component, with increased performance in ELA and mathematics for elementary, middle, and high school students. Middle and high schools also made significant strides in supporting English Language Learners (ELL), as evidenced by enhanced proficiency rates.
Readiness scores for middle and high schools saw meaningful increases, reflecting the district’s success in preparing students for college, careers, and life beyond the classroom. Elementary and middle schools also recorded district-wide improvements in literacy, underscoring the strength of GCS’s foundational education programs. The district’s Graduation Rate reached an impressive 96.8%, far exceeding the state average.
“We are incredibly proud of our students and educators for their hard work and dedication reflected in this year's CCRPI results,” said Mrs. Alice Mashburn, Superintendent of Gordon County Schools. “These scores highlight our commitment to academic achievement, growth, and preparing students for lifelong success."
