CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Both Bradley County and Cleveland school directors said Friday they are pleased with local scores from the state’s 2010 State Report Card.
County Schools Director Johnny McDaniel and City Schools Director Rick Denning said while their systems fell short in some subgroup categories, including the groups for economically disadvantaged and students with disabilities, the systems met the overall benchmarks set by the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
While graduation rates remained in the acceptable range by the state, both directors said there is more work to be done to raise those numbers near to 100 percent.
Both systems, like schools across Tennessee, have been warning parents for months that the 2010 scores would be lower because test standards are tougher.
