Measuring Reading Readiness of Georgia's K-12 Students
Section 20-2-153.1 of the Georgia Early Literacy Act established the implementation of uniform grade-appropriate metrics for measuring literacy. In compliance with the law, in November 2023 the State Board of Education (SBOE) adopted a State Literacy Metric.
According to the SBOE-adopted State Literacy Metric, during the 2024-2025 school year, 65% of Georgia’s 3rd grade students are reading at or above grade level. Please see the Reading Readiness Dashboard for additional results.
The SBOE-adopted State Literacy Metric required by law utilizes reading readiness data found in the Georgia Milestones English Language Arts (ELA) assessments. The Georgia Milestones ELA assessments provide a composite score that includes more than just the reading readiness metric. It includes both a reading status measure, based on student performance on the Reading & Vocabulary subset of items and the associated Lexile measure, and an overall ELA proficiency measure based on both Reading & Vocabulary and Writing & Language content.
Overview
The Georgia Milestones Assessment System measures how well students have acquired the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. This dashboard shares achievement results of the Georgia Milestones assessments with Georgia stakeholders.
In 2023-2024, Georgia Milestones mathematics assessments were aligned to Georgia’s new K-12 mathematics content standards. During the standard-setting process, a change was made to the Georgia Milestones Distinguished Learner level cut. Therefore, the percentage of students achieving the Distinguished Learner and Proficient Learner levels should be compared with caution to those of previous years. Georgia Milestones mathematics mean scale scores and the percent of students achieving Proficient Learner and above, Developing Learner and above, and Beginning Learner and Developing Learner are all comparable to previous years.

Data Sources
The achievement results provided here are based on assessment data files, which include all test takers with minimal exclusions. It is expected that these results will vary from reports of achievement that use different rules (e.g., CCRPI; Report Card).
2025-2026 ELA results will be available in late fall 2026 following standard setting, due to the implementation of revised ELA content standards.
