GA Milestones Assessment
Georgia Milestones EOG (End of Grade) and EOC (End of Course)
The Georgia Milestones Assessment System is designed to provide information about how well students are mastering the state-adopted content standards in the core content areas of English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Georgia Milestones is a single assessment system that consists of end-of-grade measures in English language arts and mathematics in grades 3-8, end-of-grade measures in science in grades 5 and 8, end-of-grade measures in social studies in grade 8, and end-of-course measures for specified high school courses. The high school courses which are tested at this time are: Algebra I, American Literature, Biology and US History.
The end-of-course measures are administered at the completion of the course, regardless of the grade level. Middle school students who are enrolled in Algebra I as an eighth grade student are required to take the associated end-of-course (EOC) measure, as well as the end-of-grade (EOG). These measures serve as the final exam for the course and contribute a percentage of the student’s final course grade per State Board Rule 160-4-2-.13 Statewide Passing Score. At this time, the percentage associated with the EOC is 20% of the final grade.
