TCAP Information

Next Tuesday, we will be releasing the results of the state assessments that our children took last spring (TCAP or End of Course). As you are aware, last year was the first year that students were subject to Tennessee’s new and more rigorous academic standards. Because we have significantly raised our educational expectations, scores on the state tests are likely to be lower than what parents may be used to seeing. Many students who are accustomed to scoring in the proficient and advanced ranges may now see scores that are identified as “basic” or even “below basic.”

Dr. McIntyre would like to invite you to join him at a Community Forum on Tuesday, September 28 at 6:00 p.m. at West High School to discuss these new, higher standards and address any concerns that parents or the community may have.
