The Georgia Department of Education has released the Georgia Milestones Assessment System results from Spring 2024, when more than 90,000 Gwinnett County students took a state Milestones assessment in math.
A review of the scores from the 2023-24 administration shows Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) exceeded the state and Metro Regional Education Services Area (RESA*) performance for all math assessments.
GCPS Superintendent Dr. Calvin J. Watts says, “I’m proud of our 2023-2024 Georgia Milestones math results. As called out in our strategic plan, our steadfast commitment to elevating academic success for each and every student is becoming evident.”

A review of how Metro RESA school districts performed in higher levels of learning (Proficient and Distinguished) shows that GCPS remains among the top metro districts.
GCPS Deputy Superintendent of Academic Services, Dr. Nikki Mouton, says, “We are pleased to see our students performing at higher levels than the state and Metro RESA. Our results are evidence that the AKS and curriculum remain aligned with state standards. We continue to emphasize growth for each and every student until all GCPS students are scoring proficient or distinguished.”
