The state has posted a number of TCAP reports on the PearsonAccess site (https://tn.pearsonaccessnext.com/) under the “Published Reports” section that can be accessed by principals and Building Testing Coordinators. To access these reports, first find the “Reports” menu and then select “Published Reports”. 

Please remember that school level TCAP results are still EMBARGOED and should not be shared outside of your school.  

Individual student reports may always be shared with parents. Parents will have access to individual student TCAP reports when the TCAP Family Portal (https://familyreport.tnedu.gov/login) is updated on July 17. 

The new Pearson reports include regular TCAP scores but do not include the TCAP ELA and Math alternate test (TCAP ALT) results that will also be included in accountability calculations.  

If you have forgotten your Pearson password, there is a forgot password function at the site. 

Make sure the correct test and year are showing at the top of the page in PearsonAccess. If you do not see any reports, you may have the wrong test selected at the top of the page after you log in. For example, if Spring 2025 EOC is selected, you would need to change this to “Spring 2025 ACH Grades 2-8” using the drop down menu if you are at an elementary school.  

There are many reports for each school, so if you are looking for a particular report, instead of scrolling through all of them, use the search function in the Published Reports section. The following search terms should work: 

• ISR finds individual student reports.
• School Standards Analysis finds the school level standards analysis reports.
• Teacher Standards Analysis finds the teacher level standards analysis reports.
• Class Standards Analysis finds class section specific standards analysis reports.
• Class Roster finds the class roster reports which list results for each student for a teacher’s roster.
• Searching on a teacher’s last name, underscore, first name (Lastname_Firstname) will find a variety of reports for that teacher.

If you have questions, please reach out to the Department of Assessment and Accountability (assessment@scsk12.org).

We are currently in our rollover process for the start of the 25-26 school year. 

As a result, dashboards stopped refreshing on July 11th and will resume in August. This means that the data will not change or update during this period.

New users and employees with new school assignments during this time will not have access until rollover is complete. 

Once rollover is complete, some users may lose access if it was granted via a direct request to the DAIM team or through the MSCS Compass Access App. This is to ensure data security and remove any inactive staff members. Principals can add those people back if they should still have access.
