STUDENT GROWTH

A majority of our students come to LEAD 2-3 years behind grade level. We work to help them grow year over year and catch up academically.

TVAAS measures student growth year over year on a scale of 1-5, compared to the performance of each student’s peers.

At five LEAD schools, students are growing academically at the very highest TVAAS Level 5, meaning these students grew faster than their peers across the entire state.

After implementing intensive changes in 2017 at Neely’s Bend and Brick Church, Nashville’s only Achievement School District schools, students jumped from well below average to ABOVE the state average.

EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING

Our teachers are the foundation of everything we do. We believe investing in our teachers, and ensuring they have a strong school environment to help them succeed, will achieve strong student outcomes.

In both the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 school years, five LEAD teachers were named Blue Ribbon Teachers by MNPS for their excellence in teaching— with only 50 teachers receiving the award out of 6,000 in the district. This means, LEAD accounts for 10% of the total number of award recipients!
