Based on raw score data received from the State Friday evening, approximately 32.3% of current third grade students in Hawkins County Schools scored “Met or Exceeded Expectations” on the recent TCAP. Schools are notifying parents today, Monday, May 22, to inform them of the results and remind them of our retest, tomorrow, Tuesday, May 23, for those who scored in the “approaching grade level” or “below grade level” categories.
Our third grade teachers were able to move a majority of our students into the top three categories, with nearly 42% of our students scoring in the approaching grade level category. These students qualify for promotion with (one of the following pathways): a defined gain on the retest, 90% or better attendance at one of our HCS summer learning camps, attendance in tutoring at the 4th grade level (offered in Hawkins County during the school day), or via parent appeal. Hawkins County Schools will continue to assist and support our students and families through this process.
