 TCAP grades in Tennessee show that 41% of third graders in the state are reading at or above their grade level. WKRN's reporting that the state law requires third and fourth graders who do not pass the reading portion of the TCAP to repeat the prior school year or somehow get additional instruction. Only 46% of fourth graders in the state earned a passing score on the reading test. Not all school districts share the same result and the scores reported are statewide averages.
