With this year’s TNReady and TVAAS scores showing Hamilton County Schools’ academic growth on the rise, the district is honoring top achievers with celebratory “championship” banners to commemorate their continued improvement.
Since late last month, school board members and administrators have been working to present the banners to all 25 schools that earned a composite score of 5 out of 5 – the highest possible – through the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System, which measures student growth by evaluating each child’s performance in literacy, numeracy, science and social studies year over year.
“We see schools hang banners for athletic accomplishments and that is good, but it is time for our schools to take equal pleasure in academic accomplishments,” Bryan Johnson, superintendent of Hamilton County Schools, said in a news release. “Schools can hang these banners with pride as a result of their academic accomplishment and share the joy of the success of the students and staff with parents and the community.”
Among the 25 schools are Apison Elementary, East Ridge Middle, Harrison Elementary, Ooltewah Middle, Tyner Academy, Tyner Middle Academy, Westview Elementary and Wolftever Creek Elementary.
