State Literacy Standards

All public schools in the state of Georgia are required to teach the educational standards that have been approved by the Georgia State Board of Education. These standards outline what knowledge students should gain or skills they should be able to do at each grade level across all subjects.  

Approved at the May 2023 State Board of Education meeting, the new Georgia K-12 English Language Arts (ELA) Standards will be implemented during the 2025-26 school year. Revised Georgia Milestones Assessments (GMAS) have been developed in alignment with the new instructional standards..
