What West Georgia RESA’s numbers show

Georgia’s published chronic absenteeism rate is 20.4%. 0 of the 7 districts are above it. Highest: Meriwether County 20.3%, Carroll County 18.7%, Carrollton City 18.2%.
Georgia’s published graduation rate is 87.22%. 1 of the 7 districts falls below it. Lowest: Meriwether County 81.44%.
In EOG grades 3–8 — English Language Arts, the published Beginning Learner share runs as high as 42.9% in Meriwether County, followed by Troup County at 34.9%, Carrollton City at 29.4%. 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 7 of the 7 districts the published rate for students with disabilities is the higher of the two.
Out-of-school suspension, as published: highest in Meriwether County at 10.8%, Troup County at 8.4%, Coweta County at 5.9%. Georgia publishes no statewide suspension figure in this file, so there is no state rate to compare these against.
7 of the 7 districts have no published PBIS implementation rating for any school (Carroll County, Carrollton City, Coweta County, Harris County, Heard County, Meriwether County, Troup 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.

Published PBIS implementation ratings

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. West Georgia 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 West Georgia RESA’s own 7 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.
