 Tennessee Schools Defy Economic Obstacles to Achievement

NASHVILLE – Twenty-seven Tennessee Title I schools scored in the top 10 percent of all schools in the state on academic tests in 2008 despite pervasive economic disadvantages among students. In addition to top scores on both the reading/language arts and math assessments, these Title I schools have met federal performance benchmarks for at least two years.

“This tremendous achievement shows that Title I schools with high percentages of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds can still meet high standards,” said Dr. Julie McCargar, Tennessee Executive Director of Federal Programs. “Congratulations to the district staff, school staff, and students at these schools.”

The Title I Academic Achievement Program recognizes the following schools:
