The following schools earned their highest CCRPI scores:

Britt David

Martin Luther King Jr.
Veterans Memorial
Carver

Dr. David Lewis, Superintendent for Muscogee County Schools released the following statement:

"We are pleased by the fifth consecutive year of increased CCRPI scores leading to our district's highest CCRPI score to date. Likewise, we are gratified that our district closed the gap with the State in middle school and once again surpassed the State average at the high school level for the third year. While we appreciate the recent reduction in state testing, we are concerned about a reduced emphasis on Science and Social Studies, which we know are equally important to English Language Arts and Math."
