Accessing Your Child’s Georgia Milestones Assessment Results
As the school year comes to a close, we want to ensure that all families can access their child’s Georgia Milestones Assessment results through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Georgia Milestones results provide important information about your child’s academic progress and help you better understand their strengths and areas for growth. These results are one of several measures used to support learning and planning for the upcoming school year.
These results are available for students in grades 3–8 and for high school courses that require Georgia Milestones End-of-Course (EOC) assessments. Families can view assessment results by logging in to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and navigating to the Assessments section, following the steps below.
The attached guide provides step-by-step visuals.
- Visit the Parent Portal: https://www.fultonschools.org/infinitecampus
- Log in using your Parent Portal credentials
- Select “More” in the bottom left-hand corner
- Select “Assessments” to view your child’s results
If you need help accessing your account or viewing results, please contact your child’s school.
Thank you for your partnership in supporting your child’s success!
