Georgia Milestones exam will not affect grades or retention this year
Placeholder Image
Students in Georgia will not be held back or graded this year based on results of the Georgia Milestones standardized tests. Georgia Milestones will replace the End of Course Tests that were administered to high school students and the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests that were administered to elementary and middle school students until this year. EOCT scores were counted as 20 percent of the grade for high school courses.
