Annual Report

submitted on behalf

of the State Board of

Education


Georgia General Assembly State Capitol Building Atlanta, GA 30334 December 22, 2017 Dear Members of the Georgia General Assembly, Georgia law requires all charter schools to submit an annual report to the Department of Education each year and the State Board of Education to report to the General Assembly each year on the status of the charter system program [see O.C.G.A. § 20‐2‐2067.1(c) and § 20‐2‐ 2070]. To facilitate the meeting of these requirements, the Georgia Department of Education’s District Flexibility and Charter Schools Division each year conducts an Annual Report process for charter schools. The Department then compiles the Annual Report data along with academic assessment data and prepares and conveys to the General Assembly this report on behalf of the State Board of Education. The 2017 Charter Schools Annual Report is before you now. The State Board of Education in August 2017 adopted revised Charter School Rules to implement legislative changes from the 2017 session and make other changes. Revisions to the rules included clarifying the definition of Education Service Provider and that charter schools cannot require parent/guardian volunteer commitments as a condition of enrollment in the school; adding a requirement that charter school petitioners provide a description of how its governing board, students, faculty, and staff will be representative of the community diversity in its proposed attendance zone; clarifying that the local district must provide the assurance to the Department regarding a new charter school achieving ready‐to‐open status; and clarifying that the local board of education and the Georgia Department of Education must evaluate a charter school’s performance annually using the Department’s performance work (or an alternate approach approved by the Department). Thank you for your ongoing dedication and hard work in helping to strengthen Georgia’s public education system. Sincerely, Scott Johnson, Chair Kevin Boyd, Co‐Chair District Flexibility and Charter Schools Committee, State Board of Education

Brief History of Charter Schools in Georgia

Georgia’s first charter school law was passed in 1993. It allowed for the creation of conversion charter schools only and Georgia’s first three conversion charter schools were approved in 1995. The charter schools law was expanded in 1998, allowing for both locally‐approved and state chartered special schools. Oglethorpe Charter School was the first locally‐approved start‐up charter school. It opened in the Savannah‐Chatham County School System. In 2001, the first two state chartered special schools opened, Charter Conservatory for Liberal Arts and Technology (CCAT) and Odyssey School, which added Georgia’s first virtual school ‐‐ the Georgia Cyber Academy – as a program in 2007. In 2008, the charter law was changed to establish the Georgia Charter Schools Commission, with the first Commission schools opening in 2009. In 2011, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled the Commission law unconstitutional, but in 2012 a constitutional amendment was overwhelmingly approved by Georgia voters to allow for a new State Charter Schools Commission (SCSC). The first members of the SCSC were appointed by the State Board of Education in 2013 and they have been busy working to create high quality state charter schools since then.

2017‐18 Charter Schools

Georgia now has 113 charter schools serving students statewide. There are 12 Conversion Charter

Schools, including 2 Georgia College and Career Academies. There are 72 locally‐approved start‐up

charter schools, including 22 Georgia College and Career Academies. Finally, there are 29 State Charter

Schools.

School Climate Star Rating

The National School Climate Center defines school climate as “the quality and character of school life” that is based on the “patterns of students’, parents’, and school personnel’s experiences of school life.”1

School climate can be influenced by the norms, goals, values, interpersonal relationships, instructional practices, and organizational structures within a school. Research has found that schools with positive school climates tend to have better test scores and graduation rates; in contrast, schools with negative school climates as a result of unsafe or hostile environments tend to have lower academic performance.2 A sustainable, positive school climate supports people feeling socially, emotionally and physically safe. In a positive school climate people are engaged and respected. By contrast, disruptive and aggressive behavior such as threats, bullying, teasing and harassment creates a hostile school environment that interferes with academic performance. A hostile school environment fosters increased absenteeism and truancy because students feel unsafe at school. If a child is not physically and mentally in attendance, learning cannot take place. Georgia is the first state in the nation to include school climate as an early indicator in its academic accountability system, the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI). The School Climate Star Rating is a diagnostic tool to determine if a school is on the right path to school improvement. Up to five stars can be awarded.

Charter Schools Overview

The following pages provide an overview of each charter school in the state. They are sorted by the authorizer

(local district or State Charter School Commission) that approved the charter contract. The State Charter Schools

are included together.

The first section includes the number of non‐charter schools in the system, the number of charter schools in the

system, enrollment numbers, and the charter school list.

The second section provides detailed demographic information of the system as well as the charter schools. The

charter school data is presented separately from the system data.

The third section provides detailed support services (Special Education, English Language Learner, and Free and

Reduced Lunch percentages) information of the system as well as the charter schools. The charter school data is

presented separately from the system data.

The remaining sections provide the academic accountability data.

Beating the Odds ‐ is a complement to CCRPI as an accountability measure in performance contracts

between locally‐approved charter schools, districts, State Charter Commission, and the State Board of

Education. Schools that “Beat the Odds” may have low CCRPI scores and/or gaps in performance. In

addition, schools with high CCRPI scores sometimes do not “Beat the Odds” if they are performing lower

than other schools with similar characteristics. Additional information about BTO can be found on GOSA’s

website. In addition to technical documentation, GOSA recently published a two‐page summary of the

current BTO model to help school‐ and district‐level staff better understand it. It includes FAQs and a

graphic that illustrates how the model works.

College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) ‐ CCRPI is a comprehensive school improvement,

accountability, and communication platform for all educational stakeholders that will promote college

and career readiness for all Georgia public school students. CCRPI is also a measure in performance

contracts between locally‐approved charter schools, districts State Charter Commission, and the State

Board of Education. Schools are challenged to increase their CCRPI score each year. They are also

compared to the “district” scores and to state scores. Additional information about CCRPI can be found

on GaDOE’s website.
