Press release [June 12, 2014]

2014 CRCT scores show more 8th graders exceeding standards
MEDIA CONTACTS: Matt Cardoza, GaDOE Communications Office, (404) 6517358, mcardoza@gadoe.org
NOTE: DISTRICT-LEVEL RESULTS WILL BE AVAILABLE NO LATER THAN JUNE 26 AND SCHOOL-LEVEL RESULTS WILL BE AVAILABLE NO LATER THAN JULY 10.
3rd Grade Results: (see below) 4th Grade Results: (see below) 5th Grade Results: (see below) 6th Grade Results: (see below) 7th Grade Results: (see below) 8th Grade Results: (see below)
June 12, 2014 The percentage of Georgia's 8th graders exceeding standards in all content-area Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) increased this year, including an eight percentage point increase in reading. Grade 8 students showed a two percentage point increase in English language arts, a three percentage point increase in mathematics, a three percentage point increase in science, and a two percentage point increase in social studies. Students in Georgia's elementary and middle schools secured gains, as measured by the percentage of students meeting or exceeding the standards, on 14 of 30 contentarea CRCTs taken this year. Eight areas showed no change, while another eight areas showed decreases. Decreases ranged from one to two percentage points while increases ranged from one to four percentage points. No decreases were experienced on Reading tests: Grades 4, 5 and 6 saw gains, while grades 3, 7 and 8 stayed the same. Students took the CRCT for the last time this year. Beginning next year, all students in grades 3-8 will take the Georgia Milestones. The new testing system is one consistent program across grades 3-12, rather than a series of individual tests. It will include openended questions to better gauge students' content mastery and, with some exceptions for special education students with specific testing accommodations, will be administered entirely online by the fifth year of implementation. Georgia Milestones will be aligned to the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS) in English language arts and mathematics and Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) in science and social studies. This testing system will require more from students than the CRCT and EOCT it replaces, in order to

better prepare students for college and career and to provide a more realistic picture of academic progress. These increased expectations for learning may mean initially lower scores than previous years' CRCT or EOCT scores, but that is to be expected and should bring Georgia's tests in line with other indicators of how our students are performing.

TESTING BRIEF
Spring 2014 Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests In Reading, English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies
March 31 May 2, 2014
Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 20-2-281) mandates that a curriculum-based assessment be administered to students to measure the required state curriculum. These tests, referred to as Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT), in Reading, English/Language Arts and Mathematics are administered annually to students in grades one through eight. Students in grades three through eight are also tested in Science and Social Studies. In 2001, the Georgia Academic Placement and Promotion Policy was passed enacting O.C.G.A. Sections 20-2-282 through 20-2-285. O.C.G.A. Section 20-2-283 states that no third grade student will be promoted to the fourth grade if the student does not achieve grade level performance on the third grade CRCT in Reading and no fifth or eighth grade student will be promoted to the next grade if the student does not achieve grade level performance on the CRCT in Reading and Mathematics.
The CRCT assess a sample of the knowledge and skills that comprise the rigorous statemandated content standards for each grade level. Georgia students have opportunities to learn and are expected to master much more than the tests address.
Beginning in 2011, Georgia launched a special version of the CRCT for students with disabilities who met specific eligibility criteria based on federal guidance. The Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests - Modified (CRCT-M) are alternate assessments based on modified achievement standards. Certain enhancements are made to the original CRCT items and the test as a whole to make the CRCT-M more accessible for eligible students with disabilities so that they could better demonstrate what they have learned. The CRCT-M are available in grades 3 through 8 in Reading, English Language Arts, and Mathematics. Students are determined to be eligible by content area; this means that a student may be eligible to participate in one content area but not another. Students must take the CRCT in any content area for which they do not meet the CRCT-M eligibility criteria. The implementation of the CRCT-M impacts longitudinal comparisons for the students with disabilities subgroup. Because the CRCT-M are not available in Science and Social Studies, longitudinal comparisons in these content areas are not affected; all students must take the CRCT in these two content areas.
Due to budgetary constraints, the CRCT in grades 1 and 2 were not administered in the 20132014 school year.

KEY FINDINGS GRADE 3
Reading, English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies
o Ninety-two percent (92%), 88%, and 81% of Georgia's third grade students met or exceeded the standard for Reading, English/Language Arts (ELA), and Mathematics, respectively. Seventy-seven percent (77%) and 84% of third grade students met or exceeded the standard for Science and Social Studies, respectively.
o When comparing 2014 performance to 2013, the percent of students meeting or exceeding the standard increased by 3 percentage points in Mathematics, and by 1 percentage point in Social Studies. The percent of students meeting or exceeding the standard decreased by 1 percentage point in Science. The percent of students meeting or exceeding the standard remained the same for Reading and ELA.
o When comparing 2014 performance to 2013, the percent of students exceeding the standard in Science increased by 1 percentage point and in Social Studies by 5 percentage points. The percentage of students exceeding the standard decreased by 5 points in Reading, 3 points in ELA, and remained the same in Mathematics.
KEY FINDINGS CLOSING THE GAP GRADE 3
o In Reading, the achievement gap between English Learners (EL) and All Students has narrowed to five (5) percentage points from a twelve (12) percentage point gap in 2009, in terms of the percent of students meeting or exceeding the standard. This trend can be categorized as Very Positive Narrowing because the performance of All Students has increased by four (4) percentage points since 2009 while the performance of EL students has increased by eleven (11) percentage points.
o In English/Language Arts, the achievement gap between EL and All Students has narrowed to five (5) percentage points from a twelve (12) percentage point gap in 2009, in terms of the percent of students meeting or exceeding the standard. This trend can be categorized as Very Positive Narrowing because the performance of All Students has increased by one (1) percentage point since 2009 while the performance of EL students has increased by eight (8) percentage points.
o In Mathematics, the achievement gap between EL and All Students has narrowed to ten (10) percentage points from a fifteen (15) percentage point gap in 2009, in terms of the percent of students meeting or exceeding the standard. This trend can be categorized as Very Positive Narrowing because the performance of All Students has increased by three (3) percentage points since 2009 while the performance of EL students has increased by eight (8) percentage points.
o In Social Studies, the achievement gap between EL and All Students has narrowed to ten (10) percentage points from a twenty-three (23) percentage point gap in 2009, in terms of the percent of students meeting or exceeding the standard. This trend can be categorized as Very Positive Narrowing because the performance of All Students has increased by eight (8) percentage points since 2009 while the performance of EL students has increased by twenty-one (21) percentage points.

OVERALL FINDINGS - SPECIAL POPULATIONS
o When comparing 2014 performance to 2013, English Learner (EL) students improved achievement by one or more percentage points in 13 of the 30 grade/content area tests that are comparable (grades 1 and 2 are not included this year). EL students experienced one-year gains of at least 5 percentage points in the following areas:
o Grade 4 Reading; o Grade 5 Reading; o Grade 5 Science; and, o Grade 8 Science.
o Prior to 2011, performance gains of Students with Disabilities (SWD) have been highlighted in this section of the brief as well as performance gains of EL students. However, with the implementation of the CRCT-M, an alternate assessment based on modified achievement standards for eligible SWD students, the population of SWD participating in the CRCT has significantly changed. Where all SWD took the CRCT in 2010 and years prior, a percentage of SWD students took the CRCT-M in 2011. This shift in the number of students belonging to the SWD subgroup makes CRCT longitudinal comparisons prior to 2011 for the subgroup inappropriate in grades and content areas where the CRCT-M is available (Grades 3-8 in Reading, English/Language Arts and Math).
o When comparing 2014 performance to 2013 in Science and Social Studies, Students with Disabilities improved achievement by one or more percentage points in 5 of 12 grade/content combinations. Students with Disabilities experienced a one-year gain greater than 3 percentage points in grade 5 Science and grade 8 Social Studies.
KEY FINDINGS GRADES 3, 5, AND 8 PROMOTION/RETENTION
o Ninety-two percent (92%) of third grade students met or exceeded the standard in Reading. Eight percent (8%) of Georgia's third graders did not meet the standard and are therefore candidates for remediation and retention.
o Ninety-five percent (95%) of fifth grade students met or exceeded the standard in Reading while 88% met or exceeded the standard in Mathematics. Five percent (5%) of the fifth grade students did not meet the standard in Reading, while 12% did not meet the standard in Mathematics. Three percent (3%) of fifth grade students did not meet the standard in both Reading and Mathematics. Georgia's fifth graders who did not meet the standard in Reading and/or Mathematics are candidates for remediation and retention.
o Ninety-seven percent (97%) of eighth grade students met or exceeded the standard in Reading while 82% met or exceeded the standard in Mathematics. Three percent (3%) of eighth graders did not meet the standard in Reading while 18% did not meet the standard in Mathematics. Two percent (2%) of eighth grade students did not meet the standard in both Reading and Mathematics. Georgia's eighth graders who did not meet the standard in Reading and/or Mathematics are candidates for remediation and retention.
