Casting a Vision for Student Success
At SCORE, one of the key questions we’ve focused on over the last year is: Are Tennessee students prepared for careers that enable economic independence? We believe the answer to student success is rooted in a student's entire educational journey, requiring meaningful alignment across K-12, postsecondary, and the workforce.
On Dec. 6, we unveiled our latest report, 2025 State of Education in Tennessee: Casting a Vision for Student Success. Fueled by new statewide goals and data points that help us track student success, this year’s report lays out six priorities our state must focus on to prepare students for careers that enable economic independence. We’re eager to work in partnership with leaders across the state to tackle these priorities and give students the opportunity to thrive in the classroom, career, and life.
