The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement has released its annual “Beating the Odds” analysis, showing how schools in Chattooga County Schools and Trion City Schools performed compared to statistical expectations.

The Beating the Odds report compares each school’s actual College and Career Ready Performance Index score with a predicted score generated through a state statistical model. That model considers factors outside a school’s direct control, including demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, to estimate how a school would be expected to perform.

Schools are then classified as beating expectations, performing within the expected range, or falling below expectations.

In Chattooga County Schools, Summerville Middle School earned the “Beating the Odds” designation. Chattooga High School and Lyerly Elementary School were classified as performing within the expected range. Leroy Massey Elementary School and Menlo Elementary School were identified as below the expected range.

In Trion City Schools, Trion Elementary School earned the “Beating the Odds” designation. Trion Middle School was classified as performing within the expected range, while Trion High School was listed as below the expected range.

The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement conducts the analysis each year after the release of CCRPI scores by the Georgia Department of Education. The report is designed to show whether schools are outperforming, meeting, or underperforming expectations after accounting for outside factors that can influence academic achievement.
