FCS Celebrates Strong Performance in 2025 CCRPI Results

The results of the 2025 College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) revealed Fulton County Schools (FCS) showed continued academic growth across all grade levels, illustrating a full recovery from the pandemic and in some areas, exceeding pre-pandemic scores. The Georgia Department of Education released the report for schools across the state, and the district demonstrated improvements in key CCRPI areas, including Content Mastery, Progress, Closing Gaps, and Readiness. The Graduation Rate component was released on September 29, 2025 and is not included in this summary but can be found here.

“The district’s incredible efforts have clearly made gains in moving past the challenges of the pandemic,” said FCS Board President Kristin McCabe. “We are grateful for the collaboration of all the staff and Board in utilizing our fiscal and academic resources in a myriad of ways to recover and launch us forward.”

Elementary and middle schools maintained perfect scores in closing achievement gaps for the second consecutive year, while high schools improved their score by 15 points. Several schools made dramatic gains, with some increasing scores by nearly 70 points, including Chattahoochee Hills and High Point elementary schools, and Fulton Academy of Virtual Excellence (FAVE), a high school.

In Content Mastery, high school students not only recovered from pandemic-era declines but surpassed pre-pandemic performance. Across all levels, multiple schools showed consistent year-over-year growth, with 12 elementary schools achieving 100% mastery.

Progress scores showed steady academic growth at the elementary level, including a 6.66-point increase in English Language Arts (ELA) and a perfect score in English Language Proficiency for the third year in a row. Middle schools saw gains in ELA and language proficiency, while high schools maintained strong math performance with a perfect score of 100.

In the Closing Gaps component, elementary and middle schools maintained a perfect score, signaling steady progress – again, across all student groups. High schools showed meaningful growth, improving by 15 points through targeted support efforts. Numerous schools made remarkable strides, with some increasing their scores by nearly 70 points.

Readiness indicators also improved, particularly in Literacy and Pathway completion. Elementary reading proficiency surged nearly 16 points since 2018–2019, and high schools saw a 6.9-point increase in pathway completion. Attendance, while still a challenge, showed signs of recovery across all levels.

“I am so proud of our teachers, staff and students for their hard work these past few years, pushing us through the recovery process and beyond our pre-pandemic achievement level,” said FCS Superintendent Dr. Mike Looney. “We will continue to strategically build on this momentum to raise our goals higher.
