Brighton elementary celebrates achievement award

Brighton elementary celebrates achievement award

Every year, the Education Consumers Foundation (ECF) selects 18 elementary and middle school principals for this award based on the most important school measurement available: Learning gains across the entire student body, as measured by Tennessee’s Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS). TVAAS measures achievement gain in a way that permits schools to be compared regardless of the makeup of the student body. Schools whose students make the greatest annual gains in achievement earn the highest value-added scores.
