We investigate the accuracy of the coherent potential approximation (CPA) for a one-dimensional array with nearest-neighbor interactions and a Gaussian distribution of fluctuations in the on-site potential. The CPA values of the integrated density of states and the inverse localization length are compared with the results of mode-counting studies carried out on arrays of 107 - 108 sites. Good agreement is obtained suggesting that the CPA may be exact for this model. We also consider the asymptotic behavior of the inverse localization length and show that it can be approximated by the reciprocal of the decay length of a state localized about a single, strongly perturbed site in an otherwise perfect lattice.
