State results should be issued by mid-June, according to department spokesman Matt Cardoza. The department will issue district results two weeks later and school-level scores two weeks after the district results.

Students in grades 1-8 are tested in reading, English/language arts and math while students in grades 3-8 are also assessed in science and social studies.

The assessments are aimed at determining how well a student acquires the skills outlined in the state’s curriculum, the Georgia Performance Standards.
