•The percent of students who responded positively to survey items related to the KPI theme "Cultural Proficiency" was higher than the district. |
Areas of relative opportunity: |
•The school's overall proficiency rate on the Algebra I EOC was lower than the state's. |
•The school's graduation rate was lower than the state's. |
Georgia Milestones: Performance Across Time and by Student Group
The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (GMAS) is a set of summative exams designed to measure how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state‐adopted content standards. The graphs below show performance across time and by student group for Berkmar HS. The graph summarizes performance across the American Literature & Composition, Algebra I, Biology, and US History End of Course tests. Each bar represents the percentage of students in Grades 9 to 12 who scored Proficient or higher on the exam. Performance levels of Proficient or higher indicate being on track for college and career in that academic area. Student groups consisting of 15 or fewer tested students are not shown.
4-Year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate: Performance Across Time and by Student Group
The four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR) is the number of students who graduate in four years with a regular high school diploma divided by the number of students who form the adjusted cohort for the graduating class. The graph summarizes the four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate calculated and reported by the Georgia Department of Education (GA DOE). Each bar represents the percentage of students who graduated from high school within four years of starting high school. Student groups consisting of 15 or fewer tested students are not shown. The GA DOE does not calculate a graduation rate for the Gifted student group.
