“Academic achievement only tells part of the story. The addition of student growth tells a more complete story about the academic performance of students.”
The Georgia Student Growth Model (GSGM) is an exciting initiative designed to provide students, parents, educators, and the public with important inform​​ation on student progress. Academic achievement only tells part of the story. The addition of student growth tells a more complete story about the academic performance of students. Now we not only know where students ended up, but we also know how much progress they made to get there.​
