We are proud to serve a diverse population of students, and our mission is to prepare LEADers who can progress academically, socially, and emotionally. We consider the success of the whole individual as we strive for a more connected future.
Students of color, economically disadvantaged, and limited English proficiency students are not left behind at LEAD. In fact, they succeed at higher rates than their state and local district peers.
TVAAS measures student growth year over year on a scale of 1-5, compared to the performance of each student’s peers.
Following a year of significant academic growth in 2021-22, LEAD Public Schools continued momentum with all five of its schools meeting or exceeding growth standards outlined by the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS) for the 2022-23 school year.
For the 2023-24 school year, all five of our schools earned a Level 5 on the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS). This is the first time in network history that every LEAD school has earned a Level 5, which is the highest possible level of academic growth a school can achieve. Additionally, LEAD had 45 individual Level 5 teachers, which is more than double the amount of Level 5 teachers in a single year at LEAD since the pandemic.
All schools in our network continue to lead their neighborhood cluster in student growth, according to the Tennessee Value Added Assessment System (TVAAS). In particular, students who enter our middle schools with the highest learning deficits earn the highest growth score possible.
Not only are our students growing faster than their peers, they’re also more proficient. Every school in our network scores the highest overall proficiency score for their enrollment zone when compared to MNPS’ zoned school options.
