The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (Georgia Milestones) is a comprehensive summative assessment program spanning grades 3 through high school.  Georgia Milestones measures how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards in English Language Arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.  Students in grades 3 through 8 take an end-of-grade assessment in English Language Arts and mathematics while students in grade 5 are assessed in science and students in grade 8 are assessed in science and social studies.

Features the 2020-2021 Georgia Milestone Assessment System include:

• English Language Arts & Mathematics (Grades 3-5)
  • All constructed response (CR) items will be replaced with technology enhanced (TE) items in Math.
