Ridgeview's Assessment Practices 

We believe in a variety of assessment practices to allow students to demonstrate mastery of course content. We utilize IB Middle Years Programme projects; formal and informal assessments such as quizzes, tickets out the door, quick writes, essays, one-pagers, kahoots, timed writings, tests; and student's participation in classroom or community learning experiences. Students receive timely feedback on assessments to encourage academic growth. We encourage you to explore Ridgeview's re-assessment practices.

Georgia Milestones Assessment System

Overview 

The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (Georgia Milestones) is a comprehensive summative assessment program spanning grades 3 through high school.  Georgia Milestones measures how well students have learned the knowledge and skills outlined in the state-adopted content standards in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.  Students in grades 3 through 8 will take an end-of-grade (EOG) assessment in each content area, while high school students will take an end-of-course (EOC) assessment for each of the eight courses designated by the State Board of Education. 
 
Assessment Guides
 
These Assessment Guides are provided to acquaint Georgia educators and other stakeholders with the structure and content assessed on the End of Grade (EOG) measures. These guides are not intended to substitute for the state-adopted content standards.  The guides are a supplemental resource and are provided to complement, not replace, other instructional resources developed by the local school district or the example resources provided by the Curriculum and Instruction Division of the Georgia Department of Education. In principle, the EOG Assessment Guides are intended to be descriptive of the assessment program and should not be considered all-inclusive.
 
End of Grade -- 6th, 7th, and 8th
 
End of Course -- 9th ELA, Algebra, Geometry, Physical Science
