Student CRCT Scores Improve in Georgia

Students in Georgia’s elementary and middle schools improved performance on the majority of the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) taken this year. 

The 2013 Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) results released late last week show a one-year improvement in the percentage of students meeting and exceeding on 18 of the 30 content-area tests, no change on seven tests and decreases on five tests.

Students also saw increases in the “exceeds performance” rating on 24 of the 30 content areas. 

State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge said the results this year on the CRCT show consistent progress and a testament to the work teachers are doing to take students to higher levels of learning.
