MSCS Prepares for TEST SUCCESS!

Memphis-Shelby County Schools and other school districts across the state are working to build momentum and encourage students to take the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) and End of Course (EOC) tests to the best of their abilities. 


The Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) requires all state public schools to administer the TCAP and EOC tests in person. These standardized assessments, used to evaluate a student’s mastery in their grade’s content, will be administered to students from April 15-30.

Per state law, third-grade students who do not make a passing ELA TCAP score could be required to attend additional intervention or be retained.


Impacted fourth-grade students who do not show adequate growth on the ELA portion of the TCAP could be retained with no additional intervention possible.


We've included updates online, and we will communicate directly with families about promotion pathways, etc.
