Milestones Achievement Levels
The Georgia Milestones Assessment System utilizes four achievement levels. to describe student mastery and command of the knowledge and skills outlined in Georgia’s content standards. Most students have at least some knowledge of the content described in the content standards; however, achievement levels succinctly describe how much mastery a student has. Achievement levels give meaning and context to scale scores by describing the knowledge and skills students must demonstrate to achieve each level.
The four achievement levels on Georgia Milestones are:
- Beginning Learner
- Developing Learner
- Proficient Learner
- Distinguished Learner .
