Georgia students continued to show strong increases in mathematics on the Georgia Milestones assessments in 2024-2025.
The second consecutive year of mathematics increases follows the implementation of Georgia’s new K-12 Mathematics Standards during the 2023-2024 school year. For six out of the seven math assessments, the percentage of students achieving the Proficient Learner level or above increased.

Students showed consistent improvement in science and social studies as well, with the percentage of students achieving the Proficient Learner level or above increasing for three of four science assessments and increasing or holding steady for both social studies assessments.
The percentage of students reading at or above grade level increased in five of seven grade levels. English Language Arts (ELA) scores increased or held steady on two of seven assessments, with slight decreases in the remaining five assessments.
“Seeing such strong and consistent gains in mathematics, even following significant increases the year prior, speaks to the quality of our new, Georgia-grown math standards,” State Schools Supt. Richard Woods said Friday. “The results are clear, and I look forward to seeing similar gains in English Language Arts as we begin the new standards implementation process this school year and continue to roll out reading supports tied to early literacy legislation.”
