Achievement Test
Students in Grades 3-8 take the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) Achievement Test each spring. The Achievement Test is a timed, multiple choice assessment that measures skills in Reading, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Student results are reported to parents, teachers and administrators.
In addition, some schools choose to administer the Achievement Test to students in Kindergarten and Grades 1 and 2. The 'K-2 Achievement' link below provides more information.
Achievement tests are administered in English only.
