Testing at CGCA - All the students at CGCA take the same District-wide tests as their regular-Ed peers. Utmost care in adhering to the testing procedures and regulations is essential. Our testing coordinator will meet with us to give us pertinent information regarding testing, as will the Program Managers. Testing at CGCA includes: Georgia Milestones, MAP, GAA and GKIDS.
