As a result of COVID-19 and subsequent school closures, very few tests were completed across the state. Any assessment data collected prior to closures has been returned to each school district to support their instructional planning. However, due to the extraordinary circumstances from the previous school year, the data cannot be meaningfully compared across districts or across time. Thus, there will be no public release of these incomplete data. Additionally, as the United States Department of Education and the Tennessee General Assembly have waived the federal and state assessment and accountability requirements for the 2019-20 school year, these data will not be used for accountability purposes.
Due to school closures and assessment waivers for 2019-20, fall 2019 school- and district-level EOC data are incomplete and incomparable to data from previous years.

Interpretation of assessment data across years should reflect a consideration for variations in local context, district participation rates, statewide assessment context, as well as other data, as it becomes available. For information on how to interpret 2020-21 assessment files, refer to this guidance.

Thus, there will be no public release of these data, as the United States Department of Education and the Tennessee General Assembly have waived the federal and state assessment and accountability reporting requirements for the data from the 2019-20 school year. Districts received WIDA data on July 16.

The deadline for submission of the Parent Involvement Survey for 2017-18 was May 28, 2018.
2019-20 Ready Graduate data are lagged and reflect the 2018-19 cohort. These data were not impacted by 2020 school closures.

The Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS) measures the impact schools and teachers have on their students' academic progress. TVAAS measures student growth, not whether the student is proficient on the state assessment. TVAAS composites are scores that assess growth at the school level, based on student performance across all available subjects and grades on state assessments. For districts that opted to test students in grades K-2 when the K-2 assessment was available, those scores are also included in the TVAAS composite. 2ff7e9595c
