Overall, the county school system’s composite CCRPI score, 73.1, remained 1.9 points below the statewide score of 75.0. “So while we’re still lagging behind the state just a little on our overall score, we are closing the gap a little bit,” Noralee Edwards, director of data support for Bulloch County Schools, told the Board of Education this week. Although below the mean, the Bulloch County Schools’ score was a little above the median, placing 101st of the 208 school systems included in the reports.
