About the Tests

In 2006-2007 Tennessee used the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) Achievement Test to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading/language arts, math, science and social studies, and in grades 5 and 8 in writing.
The results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for all grades combined for each subject.
The TCAP is a standards-based test that measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Tennessee.
The different student groups are identified by the Tennessee Department of Education. If there are a small number of students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
