Cleveland City Schools

Cleveland City Schools announces final Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) data for the third-grade English Language Arts portion. Our data shows nearly 87% of our third graders meet requirements for fourth grade without any interventions based on their proficiency on the TCAP, eligible student exemptions, or eligibility to appeal.

Based on the final results of the ELA portion, including retakes, data revealed that 36% of the district’s 425 third-grade students tested achieved proficiency.

Cleveland City Schools had 38% of our third-grade students qualify for an exemption due to a disability or because they are English language learners. Additionally, 13% of students have the opportunity to appeal with the Tennessee Department of Education in the summer.

Our commitment to the academic success of all students has been evident throughout this school year. Since August, Cleveland City Schools has been diligently working with students, teachers, and families to provide exceptional tutoring and individual interventions, especially for our at-risk students.

"We have witnessed the tremendous dedication and hard work of our teachers and staff who are invested in our interventions and one-on-one support programs," stated Dr. Russell Dyer, Director of Schools at Cleveland City Schools. "We take great pride in our achievements thus far and recognize there is still work to be done. We remain committed to providing the best educational opportunities for all our students and I am beyond proud of the progress they have made this academic year. Through our school board’s visionary leadership, we will continue striving for academic excellence for all our students."

Cleveland City Schools offers a summer academic program for all students who are currently in grades K-7 with priority for those in need of academic interventions. For more information regarding the Summer Academic program or any inquiries, please contact our central office at 423-472-9571.
