Anderson County Schools Celebrate Significant Gains on 2024–2025 State Report Card

 

CLINTON, Tenn. — The Tennessee Department of Education released its State Report Cards for the 2024–2025 school year on Thursday, and Anderson County Schools is celebrating notable academic progress across the district.

 

The annual report card measures district and school performance across grade levels and subject areas while highlighting year-over-year improvement. According to the report, Anderson County Schools continues a positive upward trend that has been building for several years.

 

“We’re consistently improving,” said Tim Parrott, Director of Schools for Anderson County Schools. “We’ve been on a trajectory now for probably the last four to five years, and I think overall it just shows our commitment and our teachers’ dedication to the success of our students.”

 

This year’s report shows that 11 schools in the district improved their performance ratings. Of those schools, three earned an “A,” seven received a “B,” two earned a “C,” and two received a “D.” Notably, two schools improved by two letter grades in a single year.

 

“Norris Middle School actually went from a C to an A this year, and Briceville Elementary School, which is our smallest school in the district, went from a D to a B,” Parrott said.

 

In addition to state-level gains, Anderson County Schools received federal recognition as an “Advancing District.” Three schools within the district were also named Reward Schools, an honor recognizing high performance and growth.

 

District leaders credit the success to the collective efforts of students, teachers, and staff throughout Anderson County Schools.

 

“When our students get ready to graduate, they’ve got the knowledge and skills to do whatever they want to,” Parrott said. “They’re not stuck in one track. They’ve got a great foundation through elementary and middle school, and when they go out, they can be successful.”

 

Anderson County Schools remains committed to continuous improvement and providing students with the academic foundation needed for long-term success.
