Academic Achievement Grades

This page displays the 2009 re-start of all comparison reporting for achievement data for
Tennessee’s annual comprehensive educational report card.

Only 2009 converted data are reported and no trend data are available.

Scores and grades may not be compared to any previous reporting. (See Note.)

Note:   The 2009 baseline provides a fixed transition point prior to the 2009-10 school year implementations of the new curriculum standards and assessments more reflective of national and international student performance in the 21st Century. The 2009 achievement scores and all grades connected with these scores are considered the new baseline for future public reporting. These converted achievement scores and grades are based on restructured calculations and a redefined grade scale that are updated to reflect the current status of educational attainment in the state. The 2009 change has prohibited comparisons to previous years’ data for achievement reporting including state, district, and school-level scores and grades. For 2009 only, the most appropriate and meaningful comparsion would be to State level data.
