SCORE ACCOMPLISHMENT

SCORE sharpens its focus on the pathway from
kindergarten to postsecondary to career with three goals centered on driving success for Tennessee students:


All students receive an excellent public K-12 education.


All students earn a credential or postsecondary degree of value that prepares them for a career enabling economic independence.


Economically Tennessee is lauded nationally as a leader in
pandemic recovery by the Education Recovery Scorecard. Tennessee students exceed prepandemic ELA proficiency levels and are just shy of 2019 math proficiency levels.
