Bradley County meets 10 of 10 TCAP goals

CLEVELAND, Tenn. - Bradley County Schools officials say the district met 10 out of 10 achievement targets set by the Tennessee Department for Education for grades 3-12 in the 2014-2015 school year.

In a released statement, Bradley County education officials addressed test scores in math, reading and other subjects, coinciding with the state's release of school district achievement scores this week.

"We believe that all children can learn, and our mission is to prepare students to be college- and career-ready upon graduation," said Dr. Linda Cash, director of Bradley County Schools, who took office in June. Cash replaces Johnny McDaniel, who held the director post for eight years and accepted a buyout agreement from a divided school board in February.

Angie Gill, system testing coordinator and data analyst for Bradley County Schools, praised the district's math achievements, which she said exceeded goals for grades 3-8 math, Algebra II, and graduation rate.

"This was a major focus for our system and our teachers have worked hard, and we will continue to do so as we strive for increased student learning." said Gill.
