Nine of Fayette County’s schools are among the 159 Georgia public schools in 42 districts that received highest performance and/or greatest gains school awards from the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement based on scores from the College and Career Performance Index (CCRPI).
School system spokesperson Melinda Berry-Dreisbach said the highest performing schools must earn a three-year average CCRPI Achievement Score that ranks in at least the 93rd percentile. Greatest gains schools must earn a three-year average CCRPI Progress Score that ranks in at least the 93rd percentile. Each award category has a platinum, gold, silver and bronze tier.

McIntosh received a platinum in greatest gains and a gold award in highest performance. Starr’s Mill received silver in both greatest gains and highest performance. These two schools are among just 31 in 12 districts that received awards in both categories,” Berry-Dreisbach said.
