The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (Georgia Milestones) is a comprehensive summative assessment pro​gram spanning grades 3 through high school.  

Georgia Milestones measures how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards in English Language Arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.  

Students in grades 3 through 8 take an end-of-grade assessment in English Language Arts and mathematics, while students in grades 5 and 8 are also assessed in science and social studies. High school students take an end-of-course assessment for each of the ten courses designated by the State Board of Education.

What is MTSS?

Multi-Tiered System of Supports

A framework that integrates assessment and intervention within a school-wide, multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavioral problems. It promotes systems alignment to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of resources.

The essential components of Georgia’s framework are aligned with the nationally vetted Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) including: Screening​, Progress Monitoring​, Multi-Level Prevention System, and Data-Based Decision Making​. Georgia added infrastructure as a fifth component​ to ensure schools can develop a systemic and preventive educational system that can ​​easily be personalized for every child. The following are critical elements of Infrastructure​: Leadership, Effective Teaming, Professional Learning, and Family and Community Engagement​.

For more information on Multi Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) at M. Agnes Jones Elementary, please contact the 504 Contact/MTSS Chair, Mr. Marvin Prather.
