NASHVILLE, Tenn (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Results of the 2019 TNReady assessment are in, and scores indicate strong growth in Tennessee schools. Results released by Education Commissioner Penny Schwinn indicate that students across the state are performing better in almost all math subjects.

Results of the Tennessee Value Added Assessment System (TVAAS) have also been released. TVAAS scores measure the year over year growth of a student. Scores show that more than half the schools in Tennessee improved their growth scores from the previous year, with 41 percent of all schools earning a level four or five TVAAS rating.

In addition to statewide achievements, Montgomery County schools saw particularly strong improvement in math scores for grades 3-8.

“I’m impressed with the improvement we’ve seen in mathematics,” Commissioner Schwinn said. “The dedication of our educators, commitment to implementing high-quality materials, and unwavering student focus is what sets Tennessee apart and will continue to be the catalyst for moving our state forward.”
