Tennessee Report Card on Coffee County Schools

Coffee County Schools has a graduation rate topping 91 percent, an average composite ACT score of 19.1 and spends $9,230 per student which is a little over $200 less than the state average per student, according to information released yesterday as part of the annual Tennessee Report Card.
The state average ACT score is 19.9 and the graduation rate is 88.5 percent.
Students received their best scores in Coffee County in Biology 1 with 45.8% on track of proficient and 13.2% mastering the subject.
Students in high school did take end-of-course exams last spring, and as such, the report does include achievement and growth data for those students. However, the accuracy of the data is suspect because the Department of Education announced the tests would not count toward the students’ final grades.
The Tennessee Department of Education and the state Board of Education also established higher score thresholds that students must meet to be considered proficient when taking end-of-course exams.
