Georgia Milestones Assessment

The Georgia Milestones Assessment System is a single assessment system that consists of end-of-grade measures in English language arts and mathematics in grades 3-8, end-of-grade measures in science in grades 5 and 8, end-of-grade measure in social studies in grade 8, and end-of-course measures for specified high school courses. Georgia Milestones measures how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards.
