What Pioneer RESA’s numbers show

Georgia’s published chronic absenteeism rate is 20.4%. 7 of the 14 districts are above it. Highest: Banks County 27.6%, White County 23.4%, Hall County 22.6%.
Georgia’s published graduation rate is 87.22%. 0 of the 14 districts fall below it. Every member district meets or exceeds it.
In EOC — American Literature and Composition, the published Beginning Learner share runs as high as 46.2% in Gainesville City, followed by Franklin County at 41.0%, Stephens County at 35.7%. Beginning Learner is Georgia’s own lowest achievement level — students not yet demonstrating proficiency in the grade-level standards.
Georgia publishes chronic absenteeism separately for students with and without disabilities — 25.1% and 19.6% statewide. In 14 of the 14 districts the published rate for students with disabilities is the higher of the two.
Out-of-school suspension, as published: highest in Hart County at 7.6%, Stephens County at 5.8%, Lumpkin County at 5.6%. Georgia publishes no statewide suspension figure in this file, so there is no state rate to compare these against.
14 of the 14 districts have no published PBIS implementation rating for any school (Banks County, Dawson County, Forsyth County, Franklin County, Gainesville City, Habersham County, Hall County, Hart County, Lumpkin County, Rabun County, Stephens County, Towns County, Union County, White County). The rating reflects a submitted state fidelity review, so this is a gap in published visibility rather than proof of anything about the program itself.

Achievement levels as the state reports them

The four published achievement-level percentages for each district, stacked. Georgia publishes no statewide row for assessment, so there is no state comparison — these are absolute published shares.

Suspension, as published

Share of students given in-school and out-of-school suspension at least once. Georgia publishes no statewide row in this file, so there is no state line to draw.

Published PBIS implementation ratings

Georgia publishes this rating for individual schools. Select a district to see its schools. A school with no rating is not necessarily a school without the program — the rating reflects a submitted state fidelity review.

What is and isn’t here. Georgia publishes statewide figures for chronic absenteeism (including separately by student group), graduation rate and enrollment characteristics, so those are shown against the state. Georgia does not publish a statewide row for assessment results or discipline, so those are shown on their own absolute scale with no state comparison — rather than against an average we would have had to compute ourselves. Pioneer RESA does not publish a regional figure of its own for anything. The four tiles near the top of this page are the one exception: an enrollment-weighted average across Pioneer RESA’s own 14 member districts, calculated by Standard Education and labeled as such, shown next to Georgia’s real published statewide figure for comparison. Every other figure on this page remains exactly as published — never averaged, blended or ranked by us.
