Accountability

WCS was designated an Advancing District and 29 schools were designated Reward Schools for 2024. More information is available on the TDOE’s Accountability page.
State law also requires a school letter grade rating system, which is based on achievement, growth, and college and career readiness. More information is available on the TDOE’s School Letter Grades page.
Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System
The Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS) uses models to measure student growth by comparing a student’s performance with those of similar students on the same assessment.
The public TVAAS website provides access to school and district growth data and allows visitors for compare data.
