Dr. Russell Dyer, Director of Cleveland City Schools, is pleased to announce that Cleveland City Schools has been notified that the district is a Level 5 TVAAS School System for the 2020-2021 school year. Level 5 is the highest score possible on the TVAAS scale.

The Tennessee Department of Education website explains, “The Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS) measures student growth year over year, regardless of whether the student is proficient on the state assessment. In calculating a TVAAS score, a student’s performance is compared relative to the performance of his or her peers who have performed similarly on past assessments.”

Dyer is also excited to share that Cleveland Middle School and George R. Stuart Elementary have both received TVAAS Level 5 Overall School Composite scores for the 2020-2021 school year.
