Big News for Explore! Community School! ⭐️ For the third consecutive year, we’ve achieved a TVAAS composite level 5—the highest possible ranking! This means our Explorers made significantly more academic growth than expected on the Spring 2024 TCAP assessment. This incredible success is a reflection of our hardworking students, dedicated teachers, and visionary leaders. It’s also thanks to strategic investments in: • High-quality curriculum
• Targeted academic interventions
• Tutoring and summer learning programs
• Differentiated professional development In our tenth year of educating students in Nashville, it’s more important than ever to celebrate this outstanding accomplishment and work together toward building an even brighter future for our community! 🙌
