Students in grade 2-8 recently took the CASE assessment. CASE benchmarks are given three times per year. The test gives a projection of how your child should perform on the TNReady State Test administered in April.
Projections (Scores) include: 4-Mastered tested skills; 3-On Track to master tested skills; 2-Approaching Proficiency of tested skills; 1-Below Proficiency with tested skills.
A (+) sign beside the projection number indicates your child is very close to moving up to the next projection level. If your child has a 4+, that means they are close to 100% mastery.
A (–) sign beside the projection number indicates your child is very close to dropping down the next lower projection level.
The Scores have been recorded in PowerSchool for grades 3-8. The level is recorded under the assignment titled 'CASE 1 Proficiency'. Please check your students’ performance and contact the school if you have any questions. Second grade levels will be sent home as a paper report.

It is a great accomplishment for any school to receive recognition as a Reward School and we are excited to have five in our district! All the hard work from last year paid off.

We feel confident that students in Gibson County Special School District are in a place where they can get one of the best educations in the state because of our great teachers and staff.
