Tennessee Students Show Modest Gains

Tennessee students are making modest but encouraging gains on standardized tests, with third-grade English proficiency hitting its highest since 2017 and math and social studies also showing improvement. Governor Bill Lee credits targeted investments like summer programs and tutoring for the progress, though nearly half of third graders still fall short—facing potential retention under state law, though past enforcement has been rare. Overall, 42% of students reached English proficiency, 41% in math, and 50% in social studies, with science scores pending. Detailed data is set to be released soon to help families and schools track progress across the state. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
