Upcoming Events

Georgia law requires that students be assessed annually in grades 1-8 via the CRCT in the content areas of Reading, English/Language Arts, and Mathematics, and in grades 3-8 in Science and Social Studies.

The CRCT will be based on the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for certain grades and content areas. The CRCT Content Descriptions have been revised to reflect the GPS in those grades and content areas.

Purpose
The purpose of the CRCT is to determine if students have learned the curriculum for their assigned grades.

Accountability
The CRCT is used in three types of accountability:
Title I, Federal Funding, No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
School Performance Standards
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) to Meet State and Federal Regulations
School Report Cards
Promotion and Retention
Grades 3, 5, & 8
