In my previous blog, I provided a detailed breakdown of the TN Letter Grades. In this post, I want to shift focus and highlight the schools that stand out as outliers, defying the norms. We’ll not only look at the schools that achieved perfect scores on their TN Letter Grades—excelling in Achievement, Growth, Growth 25, and College and Career Readiness (for high schools)—but also examine schools with high percentages of Economically Disadvantaged (ED) students, Students with Disabilities (SWD), and Black, Hispanic, and Native American (BHN) students that still managed to earn an “A.”

For 2023-2024 students, the average percentage of ED students in F schools was 49.64%. Using that as a benchmark, here are the schools that earned an A with ED percentage of 50% or higher.

A Schools with High Black, Hispanic, and Native American (BHN) Percentages (83% or Higher)

For 2023-2024 students, the average percentage of BHN students in F schools was 82.2%. Using that as a benchmark, here are the schools that earned an A with a BHN percentage of 83% or higher:

A Schools with High Students with Disabilities (SWD) Percentages (16% or Higher)

For 2023-2024 students, the average percentage of SWD students in F schools was 15.96%. Using this as a benchmark, here are the schools that earned an A with an SWD percentage of 16% or higher:
