In reports released last week by the Georgia Department of Education, Dawson County Schools had a slight dip on the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI). The index is a state-wide accountability system for Georgia schools that replaced No Child Left Behind in 2012. "It measures school districts and its schools using a 100 point scale in the areas of achievement, progress, achievement gap and challenge points for subgroup performance," said Nicole LeCave, director of teaching and learning for Dawson County Schools.
