Hamilton County Schools district-level TVAAS scores

Overall, Hamilton County schools are meeting expectations when it comes to student growth and performance, according to data released last week by the Tennessee Department of Education.

Gaps remain, however.

Though Hamilton County Schools received an overall Tennessee Value-Added Assessment (TVAAS) composite score of 3 out of 5, half of the district’s schools are not meeting student growth expectations.

Student performance also remains low in math, particularly in Algebra I, district administrators say, earning the district a score of 1 out of 5.
