Georgia Milestones test scores were released last week and Dawson County students were in the top 20 in the state in multiple grade levels across several subject areas. Students in grades 3-8 are tested using an end of grade test, while high school students are administered end of course tests at the end of the winter and spring semesters. "For our end of grade, we were in the top 20 in the state in the areas of science and social studies for our sixth and seventh grades," said Janice Darnell, director of student support.
