School Report Card

View Latest Annual Report Card (Georgia Department of Education Website) »

Georgia's Single Statewide Accountability System (SSAS) includes an Accountability Profile for every public school and school system in the state. The Accountability Profile is composed of:

  1. An absolute performance determination, based on Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).
  2. A Performance Index based on annual growth in academic achievement as measured by statewide assessments.
  3. Performance Highlights which provide recognition for schools and school systems based on academic related indicators.

A. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

AYP under No Child Left Behind is more stringent than AYP under previous laws. AYP now requires schools to meet criteria in three areas: Test Participation (for both Mathematics and Reading/English Language Arts), Academic Performance (for both Mathematics and Reading/English Language Arts), and a Second Indicator, which for Charles Spencer is Attendance Rate.

School met AYP
School met criteria in 7 out of 7 areas
Title I School
Improvement Status: Distinguished

Test Participation

Each school (or system) as a whole and all student groups with at least 40 members must have a participation rate of 95% or above on selected state assessments in Reading/English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Academic Performance

Each school (or system) as a whole and each student group with at least 40 members must meet or exceed the State’s Annual Measurable Objective (AMO) regarding the percentage of students scoring proficient or advanced on selected state assessments in Reading/English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Meets + Exceeds 81.6% 95.6% 82.2% 91.8%
Meets + Exceeds >= 73.3% Y Y Y Y

Attendance Rate

Each school (or system) as a whole must meet the standard or show progress on an additional indicator; for Tift Schools, the additional indicators are Graduation Rate and Attendance Rate To achieve AYP, the graduation rate must be greater or equal to 60%, or must have improved over the previous year. The absentee rate must be less than 15%, or must have improved over the previous year.

  G. O. Bailey Tift Schools
2009 Absent Over 15 Days Rate 3.6% 8.1%
2008 Absent Over 15 Days Rate 7% 9.6%
2007 Absent Over 15 Days Rate  3.1% 7.5%
2006 Absent Over 15 Days Rate 4.9% 8.9%
Current Year <= 15% or Progress? Y Y

B. Performance Index

The Performance Index includes two components for each public school that detail the Percentage of Students Meeting and Exceeding Standards and the gain or loss of that percentage from the previous year.

The Governor's Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) awards those schools with the Highest Percentage of Students Meeting and Exceeding Standards and those with the Greatest Gain in Percentage of Students Meeting and Exceeding Standards.

Criteria were developed comparing the most recent two years of Criterion Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) (grades 1-8 in reading, English/language arts, math, social studies, and science) and/or the Georgia High School Graduation Test (grade 11 first time test takers - English/language arts, math, science, and social studies). Criteria were based on Full Academic Year (FAY) students.

  • The percentage of Students Meeting and Exceeding Standards in the current year is 88.74%.
  • This percentage reflects a Gain over the prior year of 2.26%.
  • This change was at or above 89.49% of the elementary schools in Georgia.

C. Performance Highlights

This information reflects the 2008-2009 State Report Cards data which includes data for all students, not just Full Academic Year (FAY) students. Performance Highlights list the academic measurements for this school that meet or exceed 80%.
