More About the Georgia Milestones Assessment System Tests
State Testing Information for
Georgia Portions of the following material were taken from the
Department of Education website. Please consult your state's education website
for further information on the actual tests administered for your school.
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 language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.
Students in grades 3 through 8 will take an end-of-grade assessment in each
content area, while high school students will take an end-of-course assessment
for each of the eight courses designated by the State Board of Education.
Features the Georgia Milestone Assessment System include:
open-ended (constructed-response) items in language arts and mathematics (all
grades and courses);
a writing component (in response to passages read by students) at every grade
level and course within the language arts assessment;
norm-referenced items in all content areas and courses, to complement the
criterion-referenced information and to provide a national comparison; and
transition to online administration over time, with online administration
considered the primary mode of administration and paper-pencil as back-up until
the transition is complete.
The Georgia Milestones Assessment System is designed to provide information
about how well students are mastering the state-adopted content standards in the
core content areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.
Importantly, Georgia Milestones is designed to provide students with critical
information about their own achievement and their readiness for their next
level of learning – be it the next grade, the next course, or endeavor (college
or career). Informing parents, educators, and the public about how well students
are learning important content is an essential aspect of any educational
assessment and accountability system. Parents, the public, and policy makers,
including local school districts and boards of education, can use the results as
a barometer of the quality of educational opportunity provided throughout the
state of Georgia. As such, Georgia Milestones serves as a key component of the
state’s accountability system – the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI).
Students in grades 3 through 8 will take an end-of-grade assessment in the
content areas of language arts, mathematics, science, social studies. These
tests are administered towards the end of the school year, typically in April or
early May. Each school district selects a local testing window from within the
state designated timeframe to administer the end-of-grade measures.
Students at the high school level will take an end-of-course assessment in the
following ten courses:
Language Arts
Ninth Grade Literature and Composition
American Literature and Composition
Mathematics
Algebra I (Beginning Winter 2015)
Geometry (Beginning Winter 2015)
Coordinate Algebra
Analytic Geometry
Science
Biology
Physical Science
Social Studies
United States History
Economics/Business/Free Enterprise
The end-of-course measures are administered at the completion of the course,
regardless of the grade level. These measures serve as the final exam for the
course, and contribute 20% to the student’s final course grade. Each school
district selects a local testing window, based on their local school calendar,
from within the state-designated testing window. Middle school students who are
enrolled in one or more of these courses are required to take the associated
end-of-course (EOC) measure. If enrolled in a mathematics and/or science EOC
course, these middle school students will not take the corresponding content
area end-of-grade (EOG) measure.
