College & Career Readiness Performance Index
GA DOE Releases 2019 CCRPI Results
On Friday, October 25, the Georgia Department of Education released 2019 CCRPI (College & Career Ready Performance Index) scores. The CCRPI, which was redesigned in 2018, utilizes calculations and indicators to measure school and district performance on a 100-point scale. The indicators include Content Mastery, Progress, Closing Gaps, and Readiness. High schools have an additional indicator – Graduation Rate. As a result of the redesign, the 2018 data serves as baseline data and 2019 data can be compared only with the 2018 version of the CCRPI.
Thomaston-Upson posted a district score of 74.9, an increase of 6.7 over last year’s score of 68.2. At 74.9, the T-U School District was only slightly below the state average of 75.9 and came in third among the school districts in the Griffin RESA, which include Butts, Fayette, Henry, Griffin-Spalding, Pike, Lamar, and Newton districts. Fayette and Henry were the only districts out scoring Thomaston-Upson.
Overall scores in the middle and elementary categories earned 3rd place for the Griffin RESA district. Upson-Lee Middle School scored 72.5, which was higher than the state average of 72.1. Upson-Lee Elementary and Upson-Lee Primary combined for an overall elementary score of 77.0, which was just below that state score of 77.1. Upson-Lee High School posted a score of 73.9, lower than the state average of 77.0.
CCRPI reports include a school climate star rating for all schools in the district. This component is not included in the overall score. School climate ratings use the following indicators to obtain a 1-5 star rating, with 5 stars being indicative of a most excellent school climate: survey of teachers, students, and parents; student discipline; safe and substance-free learning environment; student and faculty/staff attendance. All Thomaston-Upson Schools posted excellent climate scores, with ULHS, ULMS, and ULES earning 4 stars and ULPS earning a perfect 5 stars.

ULPS Report Card
Important Note: Although ULPS scored 74.9 on readiness and 56.0 on Content Mastery, they missed out on all points relating to Progress, since students cannot show progress if it is their first year taking the test. Please feel free to call the school or the district office if you have questions about these scores.
