The 2023-24 TCAP results demonstratestudent performance remains steady or shows growth and improvement across tested grades and subjects.

"Tennessee's strategic education investments have resulted in steady growth for students across the state," said Governor Bill Lee."As we continue our work to ensure that all Tennessee students are learning on grade level, we remain committed to supporting teachers and empowering families with multiple pathways to achievement so every student can thrive in their academic journey."

2023-24 Spring TCAP State-Level Overview:

  • English Language Arts (ELA): Overall, 39% of all students are meeting grade level expectations, with proficiency gains in most tested grades, and elementary and high schools continuing to out-perform pre-pandemic levels.
  • Math: In grades 3-8, 40% of students are meeting grade level expectations in math, with a nearly three percentage point gain for 5th and 7th graders.
  • Science: Overall, proficiency rates held steady for science, with an increase of one percentage point in overall student proficiency.
  • Social Studies: Results show a one percentage point gain for all students tested in social studies, showing continued improvements over the last three years.

“Our annual TCAP assessment provides valuable data to inform strategic decision-making to best support Tennessee students,” said Lizzette Reynolds, Commissioner of Education. “Through the dedication of our teachers, schools, and districts, we are pleased that student performance continues to build on a strong foundation, improving outcomes for future success.”
