Dougherty County School officials say there's a lot to be proud of with this year's CRCT results.
The state recently released data from each school. Dougherty County officials say there is room for improvement, but several schools had outstanding results.
For example, 100% of students in all three grades at Robert Cross Middle School passed the reading and the English and language arts tests. 90% of students there passed in 13 of the 15 categories.
Teachers learn a lot from the tests as well. School system spokesman R.D. Harter said, "The CRCT test is a measure that helps teachers to learn where to put more emphasis with students. It is a test that gives teachers feedback on what needs to be improved in our instruction so that students can be brought up to grade level."
Georgia got a waiver from federal No Child Left Behind requirements for next school year.
The state will rely less on standardized testing to measure student achievement and will work to close the achievement gap that plagues low-income students and some other sub-groups.
