Every parent wants their child to receive a quality education. Those in Tennessee are fortunate to have access to data on school and student performance from the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS). The Education Consumers Foundation is committed to making this information accessible so that you can make the best decisions for your child.
School Performance Charts
The Education Consumers Foundation has created interactive school performance charts for Tennessee’s public elementary and middle schools. Created from data produced by the state’s TVAAS program, the charts allow parents and other consumers of education in Tennessee to see which schools in their area and across the state are doing the most to promote academic achievement among their students.

Student Projection Reports
As part of its TVAAS program the State Education Department in Tennessee collects data from each student in elementary and middle school annually that can help be used ot predict his or her future academic performance., These reports can show how your child will perform on standardized assessments like the TCAP, end of course tests, Gateway exams, and even the ACT college entrance exam. These Student Projection Reports can help you determine whether or not your child is on the path to academic success or if you need to seek additional help before it’s too late.
