Georgia Milestones
Georgia Milestones, the annual state exams administered each year, test students’ mastery of Georgia Performance Standards, which set expectations for what lessons students will learn in each grade. Students in grades 3-8 take Milestones End-of-Grade (EOG) exams in English language arts and math; students in grades 5 and 8 additionally are tested in science and social studies. High school students in specific courses – Algebra, American Literature, Biology and U.S. History (as well as some eighth-graders taking Physical Science and Algebra for high school credit) take Milestones End-of-Course (EOC) exams. The state has not yet finished calculating Spring 2024 math scores, with an anticipated release to parents this fall.
Results measure students’ knowledge as Beginning, Developing, Proficient or Distinguished Learners. When comparing CCSD's performance to last year, nine tested areas improved or remained stable, while four dipped. We will use this data to develop School Improvement Plans and to chart a course for the future that ensures students are learning more in a CCSD classroom than they would anywhere else.
