AKS Standards

The mission of Gwinnett County Public Schools is to pursue excellence in academic knowledge, skills, and behavior for each student, resulting in measured improvement against local, national, and world-class standards. Instructional goals and objectives will be accomplished through the implementation of the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) standards. The AKS represents the Board of Education’s accepted content standards for excellence in academic knowledge and skills for all students. The AKS includes all of the state-adopted Georgia Standards of Excellence (K-12) in the areas of mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies. State and local assessments measure student learning of the standards. The AKS for each grade level and subject area are available at this link.
