2023 Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) scores are available for parents to review their student’s performance. The TCAP is designed to measure your child’s academic growth and provide valuable information about their strengths and opportunities for growth. It measures grade-level expectations in subjects such as English-Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Meeting grade-level expectations means that your student understands the skills and concepts of the subject and is ready for the next grade.
TCAP scores are just one part of understanding how your child is doing in school, so it is important to also regularly look at report cards, PowerSchool, and communicate with teachers. Parents and caregivers have important roles in their student’s educational journey. Through understanding students' strengths and opportunities for growth parents can partner with teachers to help students meet their unique goals and continue growing in their academic journey.
Understanding TCAP scores can be overwhelming and frustrating for parents but there are resources to help both parents and students grasp what it all means. From TCAP scores a parent can see where there is an opportunity for their child to grow in specific categories to meet their goals. In other words, a personalized educational checklist of what skills your child can continue to grow in and ways your can support your student.
