First Grade

Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS)

Gwinnett’s standards for grades K–12 are called the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) and are aligned to the state-adopted Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) in Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies for students at all grade levels. 

The AKS for each grade level spells out the essential concepts students are expected to know and skills they should acquire in that grade or subject. Parents can access the AKS Standards by grade level on the Gwinnett County Public Schools AKS Standards page.
