What are the assessments for Columbia County?

In Columbia County, assessments are administered throughout the elementary years to guide instruction. Beginning in kindergarten, children are assessed in a number of areas using GKIDS. Information is collected throughout the year to give teachers and parents an idea of strengths and weaknesses for individual students. Students in 2nd grade will take the CogAT. This assessment serves as a universal screener to assist teachers with the identification and characteristics of gifted learners. Teachers are also able to use this information to determine both verbal and non-verbal strengths that can be used when differentiating instruction in the classroom. Students in grades 3-5 will be administered the GMAS End-of Grade assessments to inform stakeholders of progress and most importantly, to help educators make sound instructional decisions for the upcoming year. Students in 3rd and 4th grade are assessed in language arts (reading, writing, and grammar skills) and mathematics. Students in 5th grade are also assessed in the area of science.
