ROANE COUNTY SCHOOLS EARNS TOP ACADEMIC GROWTH RATING FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Roane County Schools has secured a Level 5 rating from the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS) for the second consecutive year, marking the highest possible level of student academic growth recognized by the Tennessee Department of Education.
The TVAAS framework evaluates student academic progress over time rather than solely assessing proficiency at a single snapshot. A Level 5 designation indicates that students across the district demonstrated significantly more academic growth than expected based on historical trends.
Alongside the district-wide achievement, three individual schools earned dedicated Level 5 TVAAS ratings:
  • Cherokee Middle School
  • Midway Elementary School
  • Bowers Elementary School
District officials attribute the continued recognition to the concerted efforts of students, teachers, administrators, and staff members across the Roane County system.
