Flags show magnet, charter, alternative and virtual schools. Some campuses — early college and specialized academies among them — also admit by application, and this page cannot yet identify all of them. Check with the district before assuming a school is open to your address.

How to read this. Tennessee suppresses results for groups under 10 students, and for rates below 5% or above 95%. Those schools appear at the boundary value and are excluded from headline statistics. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, Tennessee figures should not be compared against another state's.
