Final TNReady testing data is in, and the positive results for Cleveland City Schools are an exciting end to the 2016/17 testing and data cycle. As a district, a combination of overall and subgroup achievement measures gave CCS a final accountability score of 2.51, placing it in the upper half of the ‘Achieving’ designation, indicating the district is meeting growth expectations on average.

Diving deeper into the data, students in grades 3-5 moved up more than 10 percentile points in their state ranking in both ELA and Mathematics. At the middle and high school levels, results were mixed with Graduation Rate and ACT Composites as standouts. Because data is delayed for Graduation Rate and ACT Composites, 2015/16 scores are used in the state’s calculations. In grades 6-8, English Language Learners were a standout, significantly raising their ranking within the state.

More detailed files and information are available on the state’s assessment website.
