Hamilton County public school students once again made incremental progress on 2025 TCAP assessments but failed to make as much improvement as the state did overall.
The results were released by the state Department of Education earlier this week. Individual school data is not expected to be released until later this month.
In 2024, among students in all grades who met (showed proficiency) or exceeded expectations, Hamilton County equaled or bettered state numbers in math, science and social studies. Only in English language arts (ELA) did the district trail the state, and that was by only 0.1%.
A year later, the state surpassed the county in math and science, pulled within .3% of the county in social studies and opened a wider gap with the county in ELA.
Results showed 39.3% of Hamilton County students were proficient in ELA (up .4%), 37.7% in math (up 1%), 45.2% in science (up .7%) and 47.7% in social studies (up 2.8%).
