TNReady is the state assessment test for Tennessee public school students.
It is administered every year starting in third grade through high school.
I guess the scores are considered “End of Course” assessments in High School and TNReady is just for Elementary and Middle Schools.
The 2019 scores for 3-8 grades expressed as percent scores are
| Subject | Subgroup | Below | Approaching | On Track | Mastered |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | All Students | 21.2 | 44.1 | 27.8 | 6.0 |
| Math | All Students | 24.3 | 34.9 | 30.1 | 10.7 |
| Social Studies | All Students | 29.6 | 29.6 | 30.6 | 10.2 |
This means 40.8 % of the students are on grade or above in math in 3-8 grades.
This is not good.
In a future where we need everyone to help figure out difficult problems, we need this basic skill.
