    ACT Results

    The ACT standardized test results from the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) are based on the highest composite score for each student earning a regular or alternate academic diploma. The WCS Class of 2022 posted an ACT composite of 24.7. The state average composite was 19.1.

    Students who earn at least a 21 composite on the ACT are eligible for the Tennessee HOPE Scholarship. Seventy-five percent of the WCS Class of 2022 met that minimum score requirement. Thirty-five percent of students statewide met the same minimum.

    Forty-nine percent of the WCS Class of 2022 scored at or above all four college readiness benchmarks set by the ACT.

    TCAP Results

    Based on Spring 2023 TCAP results from the TDOE, WCS ranked highest overall in Achievement and End of Course performance. District performance on individual tests and for various student groups is available under State Assessments on TDOE's Data Downloads & Request page.

    Accountability

    Tennessee’s accountability system is based on parameters from the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The system measures districts and schools against multiple indicators: achievement, growth, chronic absenteeism, English learner performance, graduation rates, and ready graduates. WCS was designated an Exemplary District and 29 schools were designated Reward Schools for 2022.
