Fayette students scored well. Georgia Dept. of Education (DOE) has published the complete list of CRCT (Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests) for 2009.

Available in-depth at the DOE website are comprehensive results for grades 1-8 by individual grade-level tests, by school, school system and statewide. Students in grades 1-8 take the reading, English and math tests.

State law requires that students in third, fifth and eighth grade meet or exceed expectations on the CRCT in reading in order to be promoted. Fifth and eighth grade students must also meet or exceed expectations on the CRCT in mathematics.
