Average scores on the four different parts of the test were as follows:
English: 18
Math 18.3
Reading 18.4
Science 18.6
When it comes to the district as a whole, TCAP scores from earlier in the year show that roughly half or less of all students across grades K-12 are meeting academic standards. High school TCAP scores show approximately a third of students meeting Math standards, about 40 percent meeting expectations in Science and Social Science, and barely half of all high schoolers meeting state standards in English Language Arts.
Greene County Schools consider this year’s ACT scores a “success” as it is higher than the national average.
A press release from Greene County Schools stated that the district remains “committed to preparing every graduate for success in postsecondary education, workforce pathways, and lifelong learning.”
Director of Schools Dr. Chris Malone said, “The district will continue monitoring student progress and expanding ACT preparation support as part of its broader college and career readiness initiative.”
The Tennessee Conservative recently reported that Malone provided a report to the Greene County Board of Education on the growing number of homeschoolers in the county.
