The state of Georgia requires the assessment of all students enrolled in its K–12 public schools to monitor students’ progress towards mastering the state curriculum. Students participate in state, district, and local assessments for their grade level during the school year. Some assessments include the Georgia Milestones EOG (3rd-5th), Georgia Alternate Assessment (1-5th), ACCESS for ELs (K-5 English Learners), NWEA MAP (K-5), district benchmarks, common assessments, and classroom assessments. Parents are informed of assessment results, and data is used to improve teaching and learning.
