We have created this video podcast of Mabry's CRCT scores from May, 2006. Sometimes data can be confusing, so here is a simple way to understand what you're about to see: We want more purple and no yellow. Each bar graph shows the percentage of students below grade level (yellow), on grade level and meeting expectations (blue), and above grade level and exceeding expectations (purple).

The first chart in each data set shows an overview of that grade level's performance in each subject. The next several charts show how our students compared to the students in Cobb County as a whole and the state of Georgia in each subject area.

You will notice that, in some subject areas, the data looks significantly different than it has in the past. These tests were renormed last year.
