![]() Schools in Hamilton County saw declines in English and math proficiency on the tests, including the district's seven priority schools that showed proficiency percentages in the single digits for the subjects. In August the department said declines were anticipated due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it highlighted elementary school English and middle school math as target areas for improvement. Most subgroups saw declines in math from 2019, with two-thirds of Black students scoring "below" grade level in 2021 compared to 46% in 2019. Statewide data released in August showed one in seven economically disadvantaged students read on grade level, lower than the statewide average of about one in three students. Proficiency, measured by combining scores in the "on track" or "mastered" levels, declined across subjects statewide and in most Tennessee Valley school districts, primarily in English and math.ĭistrict and school-wide data typically showed lower proficiency rates in most subject areas for students in one or more subgroups identified by the department: Black, Hispanic or Native American students, students with disabilities, English language learners and economically disadvantaged students. Tennessee Valley school districts averaged 25% proficiency on spring 2021 standardized tests, down from 33% in 2019, according to data from the Tennessee Department of Education's Report Card released last week. ![]()
