What Are the Georgia Milestones?

The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (Georgia Milestones, GA Milestones, or GMAS) is a comprehensive summative assessment program administered to students in grades 3 through 12.

It is designed to provide a clear picture of how well students are mastering state-adopted standards in core subjects like English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.

The Georgia Milestones measures how prepared students are for their next level of learning, whether that’s the next grade, the next course, or the next endeavor (college or career).

The most powerful ways to develop children’s literacy skills are also the simplest: talk to them, listen to them, read to them and write with them. When caring adults talk to kids about the world — from how recipes work to the rules of baseball — they are planting seeds of knowledge that will help kids grow into curious thinkers, readers and writers.
