School-by-school CRCT Results Released
Results show statewide improvement but some problem areas remain in some East Atlanta Patch schools.
The Georgia Department of Education released the 2012 results of the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests.
The CRCT, taken annually by students in the 3rd through 8th grades, is a gauge that shows if schools are meeting academic goals, and if not, where improvement is needed.
At Thomasville Heights Elementary, for example, 78 percent of the 58 third graders who took the CRCT did not meet the standard on the math portion of the test. In comparison, at Drew Charter School, only 2½ percent of the 76 students who took the exam failed to meet the standard on mathematics.

- 3% in Math
