On May 7, 2013, the Georgia Department of Education released a new report card tool that replaces the "Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)" designation, which was criticized because it only rated schools as pass or fail. The College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) grades schools and districts on a 100 point-scale (schools can receive up to 10 bonus points for a total possible score of 110).
