Georgia Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) Financial Efficiency Star Rating (FESR) — the program's efficiency evaluation of each rolling window, rating how much a district spends per student against its CCRPI academic results on a 0.5-5.0 star scale (0.5 increments; more stars = better academic outcomes per dollar). Rows exist ONLY for the fiscal years an FESR publication evaluated: district rows FY2016-FY2019 and FY2024 (one per traditional Georgia system, with the three-year rolling per-pupil-expenditure average, the three-year CCRPI average, and the PPE percentile the rating is built from), and school rows FY2017-FY2019 and FY2024 (the rating plus, for the 2019 and 2024 reports only, the school's own three-year PPE average and three-year CCRPI average the rating was computed from — the publisher's inputs, which differ from what the per_pupil_expenditure and ccrpi_scoring_by_component topics would reproduce, see limitations; the 2017/2018 school files publish no rolling averages). GOSA paused the program FY2020-FY2023, so those years have no rows. The FY2024 report revived the rating with a non-contiguous FY19+FY23+FY24 window. The underlying annual spending panel (total/federal/state-local expenditures, FTE enrollment, per-pupil expenditure for every fiscal year) now lives in the sibling per_pupil_expenditure topic, from which each rating's rolling window is built.
