Understanding Score Reports and Levels of Proficiency
GMAS: 4 Levels of Performance Degnation Progression of Learning
Beginning
Level 1
Learners do not yet demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge
and skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as
specified in GA’s content standards. The students need substantial
academic support to be prepared for the next grade level/course
or to be on track for college and career readiness.
Developing
Level 2
Learners demonstrate partial proficiency in the knowledge and
skills necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified
by GA’s content standards. Students need additional academic
support to ensure success in the next grade level/course and to be
on track for college and career readiness.
Proficient
Level 3
Learners demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge skills
necessary at this grade level/course of learning, as specified in
GA’s content standards. The students are prepared for the next
grade level/course and are on track for college and career
readiness.
Distinguished
Level 4
Learners demonstrate advanced proficiency in the knowledge
and skills necessary at this grade level/course as specified by GA’s
content standards. The students are well prepared for the next
grade level/course and are well prepared for college and career
readiness.

A Note About National Percentiles-Each Georgia Milestones assessment includes a subset of 20 items from the TerraNova, a norm-referenced achievement test.
-This type of standardized assessment allows for the interpretation of the test score in relation to others of the same grade and age.
-All 20 TerraNova items contribute to a student’s norm-referenced score (National Percentile).
-Only those TerraNova items (10 or fewer items depending on the specific EOG assessment) that align to state content standards were actually included in the Milestone score.
Pages 4, 5, and 6 of student score report contains Math, Science and Social Studies:
5. Achievement level and score
6. Performance in content domains and recommendations for domain mastery: Remediate Learning, Monitor Learning, or Accelerate Learning
7. Achievement level in comparison to the school, system, and state
8. Comparison to a national sample of students

retest in ELA.
• They will take two test sections which will consist of selected-response
and technology-enhanced items. Extended writing will not be given for
the retest.

How are we preparing our teachers and students for these assessments?
• Use of sample assessment items• model lessons that integrate reading and writing and cover
multiple standards• provide examples of complex texts (variety of literary,
informational, and digital texts) • model close reading strategies, text analysis strategies, and text-
dependent questioning • planning units and lessons that integrate reading and writing • Georgia DOE Electronic Resources
How do we prepare students for the online writing assessments?• provide opportunities to type on computers in
and out of class (learning.com on launch pad)
• student and parent awareness
• access to computers
