Summary
Tennessees education sector is making significant strides, ranking second in math growth and fourth in reading growth for students in third through eighth grade. This improvement is linked to the states early adoption of the science of reading approach, despite spending less per student than most states. The learning recession began in 2013, potentially due to changes in federal accountability policies and the rise of social media. Tennessees focus on student outcomes and high standards has played a crucial role in these gains, but addressing the root causes of earlier learning declines remains a priority.
