TCAP Results Show Strong Gains in All Tested Subjects and Grades Statewide
The Tennessee Department of Education released the 2022-2023 Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) state-level results, demonstrating increases in academic proficiency for students across all tested subjects and grades.
Tennessee’s annual TCAP assessment provides reliable data on how students are performing, and during the 2022-2023 school year, students took state TCAP assessments in general education subject areas to collect valuable data and inform strategic decision-making on how to best support the success of all students. Overall, the statewide 2022-2023 TCAP student participation rate was 99 percent, an increase from last year, with 92 districts achieving a 99 percent participation rate and 29 districts achieving 100 percent participation rates.
The 2022-2023 TCAP statewide data highlights include the following:
English Language Arts (ELA)
- Statewide, 38.1 percent of students scored proficient on ELA assessments across all tested grades.
- 1.6 percentage point increase from last year’s proficiency rate of 36.5 percent

“These results are encouraging as we continue to improve outcomes for our students. This data shows we are working to overcome the learning loss experienced during the pandemic. Tennessee is back on the path of improvement,” said Lieutenant Governor Randy McNally. “This is due not only to the affirmative steps taken by Governor Lee and the General Assembly but because of the hard work of Tennessee’s parents, students and teachers.”
To help Tennessee families and students understand their individual TCAP results, the department’s free online resource, the TCAP Family Portal, provides access to current-year TCAP scores, as well as past years’ test results and additional information for each student. TCAP 2022-2023 scores will be uploaded to the TCAP Family Portal in July.
