The 10 schools that achieved the highest improvements are Crim High School (23.9 points), Centennial Academy (21.6), Thomasville Heights Elementary (19.5), Hollis Innovation Academy (18.9), Beecher Hills Elementary (17.9), Charles Drew Junior/Senior Academy (17.4), Hutchinson Elementary (15.4), Washington High (14.9), Douglass High (14.2) and Towns Elementary (13). A complete list of schools showing gains is attached in the appendix. As a district, APS attained an increase of 3.1 points to 68.3 points, more than doubling the state’s gain of 1.4 points. The state CCRPI score was 75.0 points. APS has increased its score by 8.5 points in the five years since the introduction of CCRPI by the state in 2012. CCRPI is the statewide education accountability system that measures schools and districts on a 100-point scale based largely on the Georgia Milestones assessment through a combination of three main components: 1) achievement (50 points), 2) progress (40 points) and 3) closing the achievement gap (10 points), with the possibility of 10 additional challenge points.
