Elementary School Promotion Criteria
As part of the system's comprehensive assessment program, Georgia students in grades 1-8 take the state-required Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests or CRCT in reading, English/language arts, and mathematics.
Students in grades 3-8 also are assessed in science and social studies.
For promotion, the state requires students in grade 3 to pass the reading CRCT.
Georgia students in grades 5 and 8 are required to pass the reading and math CRCT subtests.
Gwinnett's Gateway tests measure how well students are learning the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS). Gateway tests are used in certain grades to determine whether or not students are prepared to go on to the next grade level.
These tests, when used with homework, projects, classwork, and teacher-developed tests, help parents and teachers measure student achievement for a particular year. For some grade levels, a passing score on these tests is a promotiononon requirement.
