Individual student score reports on this
year’s Criterion Reference Competency Test (CRCT) are available
at Coweta County elementary and middle schools.
Parents who wish to pick up the score reports can call their
child’s school to check the best times to come by and pick up
the reports, or can check the school’s website for more details.
Individual school websites can be accessed from the school
system’s website at
www.cowetaschools.org.
The score reports – for 1st-8th grade students – can be picked
up by parents at their child’s school or can be mailed to
parents who send the school a self-addressed stamped envelope.
Since the score reports are confidential, they can only be given
to a child’s parent or guardian.
The reports were sent by the Georgia Department of Education to
the Coweta County School System after the Memorial Day holiday,
and will be available for pick-up beginning Friday, May 30.
Parents of 3rd, 5th and 8th grade students were notified in May
if their child did not pass reading or math sections of the test
required for promotion to the next grade, per Georgia law. The
reports available at schools beginning May 30 are full reports
showing student performance on all sections of the test.
Schools will deliver the score reports to parents at the
beginning of the new school year, if parents do not wish to pick
them up immediately.
The CRCT is a state exam which measures student mastery of the
state curriculum. State curriculum is in the process of
changing, as the older Quality Core Curriculum (QCC) is replaced
in each subject area by the new Georgia Performance Standards
(GPS).
All students in grades one through eight take the CRCT in the
content areas of reading, English/language arts, and
mathematics. Students in grades three through eight are also
assessed in science and social studies also. The exam is
designed to test how well students know and are able to perform
the various concepts, skills, and abilities at their grade level
required by the state curriculum.
The CRCT is changed to test for the new content of the
curriculum as the GPS is phased in by grade and subject area.
Statistical data for Coweta County students’ performance
system-wide on the CRCT will be sent later in June. |
