Tennessee Growth Ratings 2025-26

Every rated public school and district, how its students grew in 2025-26 against the state's growth standard, and how that compares with every year the state has posted since 2014-15.

Statewide

Share of schools at each level, by school year

*The 2015-16 file rates 630 schools, far fewer than other years. No ratings were posted for 2019-20.

2025-26 by subject

Subject composites on the same TVAAS composite. Social studies is tested in fewer grades, so fewer schools are rated in it.

Districts at each level, by school year

No ratings were posted for 2019-20.

Districts

All 147 rated districts. Sort any column; the strip shows each district's overall level from 2014-15 through 2025-26.

Schools

All 1,743 rated schools. Filter, search and sort; the strip shows the school's overall level in each year it was rated under its current state school number (a school that merged or moved to a new authorizer has its earlier ratings under its old number).

Public charter schools and their neighbors

The public charter schools located in each district compared with that district's district-run schools, in the three districts with five or more rated public charter schools: Metro Nashville Public Schools, Memphis-Shelby County Schools and Hamilton County Schools, which is countywide. Nashville and Memphis include the Charter Commission schools in Davidson and Shelby counties, and Memphis the two Achievement School District schools.

Automatic renewal: the growth part of the test

Public Chapter 1012 also requires a school to meet or exceed standards on at least 75 percent of the indicators in each section of its school performance framework in each of those years and to have no significant audit findings during the term of its current charter agreement. The TVAAS data does not show those.

Growth and test scores

Each dot is a school: the share of its 2025-26 TCAP tests that met or exceeded expectations across, its overall growth index up. Above the top line is Level 5; below the bottom line is Level 1.
