Hamilton County Schools' rating under Tennnessee's new assessment model was unremarkable, according to a state report released Monday.
The district didn't make the list of the 21 best school systems -- "exemplary school districts" -- or the worst -- "in need of improvement."
The report reflects this year's Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program scores for third- through eighth-graders, which showed that more than half of Hamilton County students are still below proficiency in reading and math.
Improvements from last year were meager, the report showed. In math, Hamilton increased scores by 4.7 percentage points and in reading scores improved 1.1 percentage points, data show.
