Official state reports for individual students from the April administration of this year’s Criterion Referenced Test (CRCT) have arrived in schools.

Parents who would like to pick up the copy of their child’s score report may do so at their child’s school through Thursday, June 11.

Schools will begin summer office hours on Monday, May 8, and will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays.

All school buildings will be closed on Fridays through the summer with the exception of summer school sites.  School System central office buildings (such as the Werz Drive Central Office and Jackson Street Board of Education Building) will be open from will be open 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Mondays through Thursday.

The school system initially notified parents by letter of their children’s CRCT performance in mid-May, based on basic student performance reports sent to schools.

The official report available at schools now contains more detailed information than the initial score, including greater detail of student performance and how the scale score was earned.  Parents often use the more detailed state report to provide children with summer activities or reading lists that will prepare them for the next grade.

The CRCT results available in schools now are from the main administration of the test in April. Results of retests taken on May 26 and 27 are not expected for participating 3rd, 5th, or 8th grade students until the end of June. Parents of students who took math or reading CRCT retests will be notified when those results arrive.

More information about the CRCT, including a detailed Score Interpretation Guide, may be found by visiting the Georgia Department of Education’s website at www.gadoe.org. Click on the “Curriculum” tab, followed by “Testing”, then “CRCT”.
