Ratings and report cards
Georgia no longer gives schools A-to-F letter grades. The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement publishes Georgia School Grades Reports for every public school, with its College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) score, test results, graduation rate and spending per student, compared with the district and the state. Search by school name.
