GCSA congratulates the 25 charter schools that “Beat the Odds” in 2018. 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.
This year’s “Beating the Odds” analysis was calculated using a revised formula. Under the new analysis, schools that did not “Beat the Odds” are divided into two categories: “Within Expected Range” and “Below Expected Range.” The new formula is designed to provide additional context.
