The 2011-2012 CRCT results are in, and Gwinnett County Public School students exceed state averages.
Gwinnett County's students continue to surpass their peers across the state in the Georgia's Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests, or CRCT. According to a press release from Gwinnett County Public Schools, students' mean scores were above the state averages in all content areas -- reading, language arts, math, science and social students -- at all grade levels.

Mitchell (D-Stone Mountain) in a released statement. “This legislation simply calls for the return of any funds to the school system that were paid to any administrator or teacher …

Georgia's largest school district surpassed state averages in every grade level and in every test category.
Gwinnett County's students once again exceeded state state averages for Georgia's Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests, or CRCT. Students in third through eighth grades scored above average in every category: reading, language arts, math, science and social students. Not only were mean scores for each grade level and subject above the state's, but so was the average number of students who met or exceeded the state standard in each of the five test areas. The percentage of students who exceeds state state standards also surpassed Georgia's average scores. In 2010, Gwinnett County students led CRCT results, as well. “These CRCT results affirm our focus on improving achievement for all students through high expectations, increased rigor, …
