Meet Mrs. Rabil

Did you know that daily attendance can affect our CCRPI score? CCRPI (College and Career Ready Performance Index) is the “grade” our school is given. Many factors are included in the CCRPI score. Sope Creek’s CCRPI score is 95.5 Attendance is one of those factors that can affect our score. When a student is absent for more than 5 days (excused or unexcused) it affects our CCRPI score. Our CCRPI score will go down with many absences We want to keep our AMAZING score! Please make sure your child comes to school!
