The Hawkins County School System is proud to announce that four of its schools—Cherokee High School, Hawkins Elementary School, Joseph Rogers Primary and Mt. Carmel Elementary—have received a Level 5 Growth score on the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS). A Level 5 is the highest possible designation, indicating that these schools achieved “significant evidence” of growth.
TVAAS measures student growth over time, regardless of whether a student is on grade level. It is a critical metric for evaluating the impact of schools and teachers on student learning. A high growth score demonstrates that a school is helping its students make exceptional academic progress throughout the school year.
This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the teachers, students, and school leaders. It highlights that these schools are effectively meeting the needs of every student, helping them to advance significantly in their academic journey. Hawkins County School District is incredibly proud of this accomplishment and the positive momentum it represents for the district.
The Level 5 designation for these four schools underscores the district's commitment to continuous improvement and providing a high-quality education for all students.
