Georgia Milestones results to be released
Results for the spring edition of Georgia's state standardized tests, the Milestones, will be released Tuesday, the Georgia Department of Education said.
This will be the second year of results. The 2015 results were waived for use in accountability because the test was new, so this is the first year the results will count, for the most part. Owing to technical issues experienced by some, the state education agency waived a requirement to use these 2016 scores in decisions about holding students back.
The results this year are coming out much more quickly; the 2015 scores were released late last year.
