Georgia Charter Schools Association commends the 18 Georgia charter schools that “Beat the Odds” in 2019. The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement defines “Beating the Odds” as a statistical analysis that compares a school’s actual performance on the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) with the performance of schools with similar characteristics across the state. Schools that perform higher than similar schools are considered “Beating the Odds.” According to GOSA, schools that “Beat the Odds” may still have low CCRPI scores and/or gaps in performance.
When calculating the “Beating the Odds” analysis, the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement looks at characteristics that include the percentage of economically disadvantaged students, English language learners, students with disabilities, percentage students in each race/ethnicity, student mobility, school size and school type. See a list of Georgia charter schools that “Beat the Odds” in 2019 below:
