The class of 2016 in Bradley County Schools earned the highest composite ACT score in five years, Schools Director Dr. Linda Cash says in a news release.

Cash said raising ACT scores is part of the district’s strategic plan and she is excited to see improvement in the first year of this plan.

“When you see this level of improvement, you know it is a system change, a mindset change. Our teachers should be reaffirmed that what they do on a daily basis, matters,” Cash said in the release.
