Discipline and other school data available
The Governor's Office of Student Achievement recently updated an interactive map that lets anyone check on their school system's graduation rates, College and Career Readiness Performance Index, number of disciplinary events per student and other data.
The most recent update shows, for example that for the 2012-13 school year Decatur City Schools had the highest 4-year graduation rate in the metro Atlanta region at 94 percent; followed by Forsyth County and Buford City Schools, 90 percent; Fayette County, 87 percent, Cobb, 77 percent; Fulton, 76 percent; Gwinnett at 73 percent; Atlanta Public Schools and DeKalb 59 percent, and Clayton County at 56 percent.
