Forsyth County Schools utilizes an assessment program comprised of state, district, and classroom assessments. Assessment results are utilized to identify students' level of content mastery, to guide teachers with instructional planning, and to support the district in identifying strengths and weaknesses in order to improve instructional effectiveness.
 

FCS follows guidelines for test security, test preparation, test administration, and test data as provided by the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE), the Professional Standards Commission (PSC), and the Forsyth County Board of Education.  FCS provides multiple measures of test security, which includes providing extensive training for school-level testing coordinators, limiting access to test materials, and system-level administrative oversight on test days.

FCS State and National Assessment Calendar

All 2023-24 Georgia Milestones EOG and EOC results are now available in Parent Portal for students in grades 3-8 and high school EOC courses. Math EOG and Algebra EOC results were delayed due to the implementation of new state standards.

At this time, only scale scores and achievement levels are available. Individual Score Reports (ISRs) contain detailed information about your child's performance and will be available in SLDS Portal in early October.
