Most Hall County schools and some Gainesville schools have improved in the past year, according to the state’s new scoring guidelines. Twenty-five of the 34 Hall schools saw improvement on the College and Career Ready Performance Index, the state’s accountability system for schools, implemented last year to report school ratings on a scale of 0 to 100. “Overall, we’re pleased with the gain that you see in 75 percent of our district schools,” said Kevin Bales, Hall’s middle grades school improvement specialist.
