Georgia’s CCRPI scores assess student future readiness using 2023-2024 Georgia Milestones Assessment System test scores, student course enrollment, and Class of 2024 high school graduation rates. While results from these individual measures are released throughout the year, the CCRPI process uses additional formulas to evaluate and compare data.
