Each year the Tennessee Department of Education examines schools’ performance across several different indicators to provide an overall look at how schools are serving the needs of all students. The department of education included the following indicators in its analysis of school accountability:
• Student achievement
• Student growth
• English learner proficiency exam (ELPA)
• Chronic absenteeism
• Ready graduate (high school only)
• Graduation rate (high school only)
More information on each of these indicators and the data used to define them can be found in the 2022-2023 Accountability Protocol. Under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the department is required to use the school accountability results to identify those schools with the lowest performance across student groups (e.g., individual racial/ethnic student groups, students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged, and English learners). These schools will receive additional supports from the department.

Staff Sergeant Joseph C. Suda visited the Jobs for TN Graduates (JTG) students on Tuesday. Sgt. Suda is a recruiter for the Marine Corp. He shared the many opportunities associated with becoming a Marine.
Thanks to Mrs. Lisa Sensing for visiting the Jobs for Tennessee Graduates (JTG) classes today. Mrs. Sensing is the JTG Program Manager and traveled over two hours to be with the students of Ripley High School. Her lesson was based on how alcohol, drugs, or anger can affect your decisions and behavior. In order to experience impaired judgement, the students tried to walk a straight line while wearing her "drunk goggles." No one was able to pass the test. This lesson was well received by the students.
