GEORGIA’S CORE INDICATORS
OF PERFORMANCE (TARGET)
Getting familiar with some of the
common terms used
CTE Participant
• A participant is a student who has earned
one (1) or more credits in a career and
technical education (CTE) program area.
Data Source: Student Record
CTE Concentrator
• A concentrator is a student who took at
least three career technical education
courses in a particular program area
during his/her high school career.
Data Source: Student Record
What are Performance Indicators?
• Statistics that "indicate" something about the
performance of a state, district, school, or program;
• Designed to support continuous program improvement
Why?
• Performance Indicators show progress and
achievements
• Suggest areas for improvement
• Monitor changes over time
• Required by the Fed to continue funding CTE
1S1 Academic Achievement
1S1: Academic Attainment – Reading/Language Arts
Numerator: Number of concentrators who have met or exceeded
Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT) NCLB
assessment in reading/language arts on NCLB assessments and
have left secondary education in the reporting year.
Denominator: Number of concentrators who took Georgia High
School Graduation Test (GHSGT) NCLB assessment in
reading/language arts and who have left secondary education in
the reporting year.
Actual Performance: Divide the number of students who met or
exceeded standards by the number of students tested (Meets +
Exceeds/Number Tested).
1S2 Academic Achievement
1S2:Academic Attainment – Mathematics
Numerator: Number of concentrators who have met Georgia High
School Graduation Test (GHSGT) NCLB assessment in
mathematics on NCLB assessments and have left secondary
education in the reporting year.
Denominator: Number of concentrators who took Georgia High
School Graduation Test (GHSGT) NCLB assessment in
mathematics and who have left secondary education in the
reporting year.
Actual Performance: Divide the number of students who met or
exceeded standards by the number of students tested (Meets +
Exceeds/Number Tested).
4S1 Graduation Rate
Numerator: Number of CTE concentrators, who, in the reporting
year, were included as graduated in the State’s computation of its
graduation rate as described in Section 1111(b)(2)(C)(vi) of the
ESEA.
Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators, who, in the reporting
year, were included in the State’s computation of its graduation
rate as defined in the State’s Consolidated Accountability Plan
pursuant to Section 1111(b)(2)(C)(vi) of the ESEA.
Student Graduation Rate: Student Graduation Rate will be calculated using the same calculation used
for calculating graduation rate used for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), but only students
identified as a CTE concentrator will be included.
Actual Performance:
Graduation Rate = # of regular diplomas ÷ (# of regular diplomas + # of special education diplomas + # of
certificates of attendance + # of dropouts in 12th grade {current year}, 11th grade {current year -1}, 10th grade
{current year -2} and 9th grade {current year -3})
