Preparing students for postsecondary success begins long before high school graduation.

This year, 39.2% of Tennessee seventh graders met expectations in math. While this reflects modest progress, Tennessee is not yet on pace to reach the TN2030 goal of 58% proficiency.

Middle school math is a critical milestone that prepares students for rigorous coursework in high school, postsecondary education, and high-demand careers. Significant work remains to ensure more students build the strong math foundation needed for long-term success and a life of economic independence.

Tennessee’s latest TCAP data show encouraging progress in key areas while also underscoring the work that remains to ensure every student is prepared for what comes next.

📖 Tennessee third graders made meaningful progress toward our TN2030 goal of 71% proficiency in English language arts. In 2026, 44.9% of third graders were proficient in ELA — an increase of 3.2 percentage points from last year and the largest year-over-year gain in recent years.

📈 In seventh-grade math, 39.2% of students met expectations, reflecting modest improvement toward our TN2030 goal of 58% proficiency. While this growth represents roughly 400 additional students meeting expectations, Tennessee is not yet on pace to achieve the proficiency goals envisioned through TN2030.

The progress is worth celebrating but continued action is essential. If persistent gaps in student achievement go unaddressed, it could have lasting implications for students’ educational opportunities, long-term success, and ability to achieve economic independence.

Join #TN2030 as we continue building pathways that prepare every Tennessee student for what’s next.

Preparing students for postsecondary success begins long before high school graduation.

This year, 39.2% of Tennessee seventh graders met expectations in math. While the results reflect modest improvement, they also underscore the need for continued focus to ensure more students build the strong math foundation needed for success.

Middle school math is a critical milestone that prepares students for rigorous coursework in high school, postsecondary education, and high-demand careers.

Sustained improvement will be essential to ensuring every Tennessee student has access to a clear pathway to opportunity and economic mobility.

Tennessee third graders are making meaningful progress toward our TN2030 goal of 71% proficiency in English language arts.

In 2026, 44.9% of third graders were proficient in ELA — an increase of 3.2 percentage points from last year and the largest year-over-year gain in recent years.

That progress means more than higher test scores. Strong reading skills in third grade set students on a path toward high school graduation, postsecondary success, and future careers. Every step forward matters. Let’s keep building the strong literacy foundation Tennessee students need for what comes next.

When students succeed in the classroom, they emerge prepared to find success in college, career, and life.

TN2030 helps Tennesseans see whether students are on track, where progress is being made, where gaps remain, and how the future could change if just one more student per classroom each year reaches key milestones.

To define the TN2030 vision, we looked closely at the moments that matter most in a student's journey. The points where progress creates lasting opportunity and where gaps, if left unaddressed, can limit a student's future.

#TN2030 goals track whether students are building foundational skills, accessing postsecondary opportunities, and earning credentials that support economic independence.

Third-grade reading proficiency is one of the strongest predictors of long-term academic success. Students who read proficiently by third grade are more likely to stay on track in school and graduate prepared for college, career, and life.

Through #TN2030, we're tracking progress toward one of Tennessee's key statewide goals: ensuring more students are reading on grade level by third grade.

Nearly 64,000 Tennessee high school grads in 2021 met the TN Promise requirements — but half never enrolled in any postsecondary opportunity. That’s not just a high school-to-college gap. It’s a systems challenge that starts much earlier. From strong reading skills by 3rd grade to math readiness in middle school and clear pathways after high school, every step matters. It’s time to remove barriers and build pathways that support students at every stage. Join the this effort: https://t.co/5LFWCCByoM #TN2030

Nearly half of Tennesseans hold postsecondary credentials, while two-thirds of jobs will require one by 2031. Too few Tennesseans are finding paths to opportunity and future economic success. As a state, we have a strong track record of aligning around collective goals and making significant progress toward them. Join us today #TN2030: https://t.co/UZlvd7wL5S

Tennessee’s future depends on the pathways we build today.

The 2026 Future Forward Summit highlighted a critical challenge: while most students say career planning matters, many still face disconnected systems and unclear paths from education to career.

To change that, we must strengthen connections across K-12, higher education, employers, and workforce systems — ensuring every Tennessee student can access a high-quality pathway to economic mobility.

Through #TN2030, Tennessee is working toward ambitious goals to increase postsecondary enrollment and completion while expanding access to high-value credentials aligned to workforce needs.
