Schools are recognized for achievement or growth in the percentage of students scoring at the Proficient Learner level or above in mathematics. The criteria for the Math Leader Awards recognize the crucial importance of numeracy skills in fifth and eighth grades and require higher growth from schools with lower achievement levels.
Awards are given at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Elementary and middle school recognition is based on students achieving the Proficient Learner level or above on the Georgia Milestones mathematics assessment. High school recognition is based on the Algebra: Concepts and Connections End of Course (EOC) assessment, which is the state test for mathematics in high school.
