Who takes these tests

These counts cover the whole school year: students who took the test in the December (winter) window are counted along with the spring testers. Georgia's statewide totals here match the state's own winter plus spring results to within 2% every year. Middle-school students who take a high-school course early, most often Algebra, take its end-of-course test and are counted here at their middle school (about one in five Algebra testers). Schools with fewer than 10 testers are not shown.
