Georgia school report cards were released Thursday looking at last school year's performance.
The College and Career Ready Performance Index — or CCRPI — is the the standard measure of student performance by schools released annually by the Georgia Department of Education.
The most important influence on a school's score is its performance on state standardized tests, currently the Georgia Milestones.
Below are the schools from Fulton, Gwinnett and DeKalb counties with the greatest percentage change from their 2015 CCRPI score to this year's score. Schools are scored on a 0 to 100 point scale, with a possibility of 10 additional points.
- Riverwood International Charter School: increased 39.7 percent to a score of 82.3
- Milton High School: increased 30.7 percent to a score of 95.9
- Northbrook Middle School: increased 28 percent to a score of 89.1
- Lee Elementary School: increased 24.9 percent to a score of 70.8
- DeKalb Alternative School: increased 24.7 percent to a score of 42.4
- Lilburn Elementary School: increased 24.5 percent to a score of 81.8
- White Oak Elementary School: increased 23.1 percent to a score of 94.3
- Briar Vista Elementary School: increased 22 percent to a score of 74.8
- Cambridge High School: increased 22 percent to a score of 97
- Partee Elementary School: increased 21.8 percent to a score of 77.1
Any score below 60 is considered failing.
The AJC has created the The Ultimate Atlanta School Guide that lets you look at and compare critical data for every school in Georgia.
