AYP REPORT CARD
The Governor's Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) provides accountability for all of Georgia's education agencies from pre-kindergarten through postsecondary levels. Such accountability intends to improve student achievement and school completion in Georgia.
As part of this mission, GOSA presents its annual report on Georgia's public education agencies. GOSA hopes that the information contained in these reports and future reports will provide educators, parents, students, and all stakeholders with valuable information and challenge communities to improve education for all of Georgia's children.
Contents of Report Card
This Report Card contains test results as well as other information relevant to schools and their performance toward the goals of student achievement and school completion and is compliant with both state and federal (No Child Left Behind Act of 2001) laws with respect to Report Card reporting requirements. GOSA has worked as a partner with the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) to produce the K-12 Public Schools Reports since much of the data comes from GaDOE. Other portions were collected by GOSA from other entities in order to provide a comprehensive view of the schools, systems, and the state. GOSA, along with a large committee of stakeholders in the education communities from around the state, supports Georgia's Single Statewide Accountability System (SSAS) for K-12 public schools that merges federal law with state law.
The Report Card includes school, system, and state level reports organized into seven major sections: Accountability, Georgia Tests, National Tests, Indicators, Student and School Demographics, Personnel and Fiscal, and Comparisons. The following provides an overview of the content within each section.
What is included in the "Accountability" section?
This section contains the Accountability Profile, Performance Index Details (school level only), Accreditation Information, Non- Highly Qualified Teachers (as defined by NCLB and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission). Georgia's Single Statewide Accountability System (SSAS) is in compliance with Georgia law and the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Georgia's SSAS is comprised of three components: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), a Performance Index, and Performance Highlights. For more information about the SSAS, review the State Board of Education's rules 160-7-1-.01, 160-7-1-.02, 160-7-1-.03, and 160-7-1-.04 at http://www.gadoe.org/pea_board.aspx?PageReg=PEABoardRules.
What is included in the "Georgia Tests" section?
This section provides student performance results from Georgia tests based on the state's curriculum for the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS). The 2010-2011 Report Card includes results from the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT), the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests - Modified (CRCT-M), the Eighth Grade Writing Assessment, the Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GHSGT), the Georgia High School Writing Test (GHSWT), the End-of-Course Tests (EOCT), and the Georgia Alternative Assessment (GAA).

These test pages will open with a view of three-year trend data, but the user may select the icon and change the view to see the school compared to the district and state. The user can then switch back to the three-year view by double-clicking the icon.
Special Note: The report includes the number of students participating on the GAA since it is individualized for each student. Students who take the GAA are not included in the results for the regular assessments on the Report Card as they are for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). However, a description of the GAA instrument is included under theGeorgia Tests Section FAQ.
