National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (Georgia Milestones) is a comprehensive summative assessment pro?gram spanning grades 3 through high school. "...The Georgia Alternate Assessment (GAA) is a key component of the Georgia Student Assessment Program. An essential tenet of both the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), is the fact that states must ensure that all students, including students with significant cognitive disabilities, have access to a general curriculum that encompasses challenging academic standards. States must also ensure that all students are assessed for their progress toward meeting academic standards..."See Georgia Milestones Page.

The assessment program for Georgia includes customized criterion-referenced tests at the elementary, middle, and high school levels; the National Assessment of Educational Progress in grades 4, 8 and 12; and an optional norm-referenced test. These mandatory state assessments include the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT), End-of-Course Tests (EOCT), Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GHSGT), Georgia Writing Assessments (above) as well as: 

ACCESS for ELLs --Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State to State for English Language Learners
Georgia Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (GKIDS)
Lexile Framework for Reading
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
Norm-Referenced Test (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills)

CRCT TEST --CRITERION REFERENCED COMPETENCY TESTS

The CRCT is designed to measure how well students acquire the skills and knowledge described in the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS).

Georgia law requires that all students in grades one through eight take the CRCT in the content areas of reading, English/language arts, and mathematics. Students in grades three through eight are also assessed in science and social studies. The CRCT only assesses the content standards outlined in the GPS.
