Fairview Middle Receives Award

Published May 24, 2012

Fairview Middle School has plenty to be proud of these days.  The school is one of 18 statewide to receive the Education Consumers Foundation's Value-Added Achievement Award.  Fairview Middle was third place among middle schools in Middle Tennessee.  Principal Brian Bass received the award during a special ceremony in Nashville May 14.

Winners are selected based on learning gains across the entire student body, as measured by Tennessee’s Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS).  TVAAS measures achievement gains in a way that permits schools to be compared regardless of the makeup of the student body.  Schools whose students make the greatest annual gains in achievement earn the highest value-added scores.

For winning third place, the school received a certificate, a banner and a cash award of $1,000.
