Tennessee Schools Show Gains Amid Legal Battle

Tennessee students are making strides in reading and math, hitting a ten-year high in third-grade reading and showing gains across core subjects statewide. Memphis Shelby County Schools saw improvements too—but still trails the state average, with only about 26% meeting expectations in English and 22% in math. District leaders credit hard work but stress there’s more to do. Meanwhile, MSCS and Shelby County are locked in a legal battle to avoid state oversight, as a federal judge orders both sides to negotiate before the oversight board starts on July 1st—highlighting the tension between progress and structural change in education.
