Source: Georgia Milestones district aggregates published by the Governor's Office of Student Achievement. “Proficient or Distinguished” combines the top two of Georgia's four achievement levels and is the measure used for grade-level readiness. Cells marked “—” were withheld by the state because the group was too small to report without identifying individual students; they are excluded from averages rather than treated as zero. Where a student group is small, its size is shown beside the percentage and no comparison is drawn — a single student can move such a figure by tens of points, so it should not be read as a trend.
