Scoring Notes The results are reported by proficiency levels These levels indicate student mastery of the tested grade level standard The levels are Beginning Learner, Developing Learner, Proficient Learner and Distinguished Learner The goal is for students to be proficient or distinguished The state waived the use of GA Milestones scores for retention and promotion because some districts (not Bibb County) experienced technical issues with the online platform
