Georgia Milestones Assessment System Parent Information

The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (GMAS) is an annual test given to students in grades 3 -12. The Georgia Milestones measures how well students have mastered the skills outlined in the state-adopted standards for English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Students in grade 3-8 will take the End of Grade (EOG) and students in 9-12 will take the End of Course (EOC). The End of Course test counts for 20% of a student’s final grade in that course.

The Georgia Milestones Assessment (GMAS) will be administered beginning April 24^th and ending May 5^th.
