It鈥檚 getting more complicated to tell how Georgia public schools are faring.
The state Department of Education on Thursday released a full spectrum of school accountability numbers for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. But there isn鈥檛 a single number to sum up the performance of any one school or district. And that could ultimately mean the end of Georgia鈥檚 A-to-F letter grade system for schools and districts.
Discarding that single number accomplished a long-held goal of state Superintendent Richard Woods, who says it鈥檚 unfair to measure schools on just one yardstick. Woods won approval from the U.S. Department of Education in October to stop calculating a single number in the College and Career Ready Performance Index.
