Ready Performance Index
The College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) is the
measure for accountability in the State of Georgia. A school’s performance
is graded on a scale of 0-100, with the opportunity to earn 10 challenge
points. The CCRPI measures student participation and achievement on
statewide assessments and other indicators. The State of Georgia, each
local school district, and each individual school is held accountable for the
academic success of its students. Schools are scored in four areas:
Achievement, Progress, Achievement Gap, and Challenge Points. The
current CCRPI score is actually a reflection of the 2013-2014 school year.
Buford Middle School’s rating indicates strong growth and
achievement. The current BMS CCRPI score is 92.1, which is among
the top scores in the state. The State of Georgia average for middle
schools is 74.1.
