Thirty-two Rutherford County schools — or two-thirds of the 48 tested schools — have earned the highest score possible for student academic growth, according to information released today by the Tennessee Department of Education.

The school district as a whole, along with the 32 schools, have attained Level 5 status for student performance during the 2023-2024 school year.

It is the largest number of Rutherford schools to have earned the rank.

Student growth requires multiple people working together toward a common goal, Director of Schools Dr. Jimmy Sullivan said.

“This is no small feat, and it takes tremendous dedication from our schools, our administrators, our teachers, support staff, students and parents,” Director Sullivan said. “We should all celebrate this accomplishment.”

Sullivan has served as Director of Schools since July 2022, and the school district has consistently earned a Level 5 designation for student academic growth during that period. In 2021-2022, 19 Rutherford schools earned Level 5, and 26 schools earned Level 5 for 2022-2023.

The school district also reached another milestone based on the latest data provided by the state.

The school district has consistently maintained a graduation rate above 95 percent. For 2023-2024, the average graduation rate for all Rutherford County high schools was 97.2 percent.

“Graduation rate is one of those indicators that should be celebrated by all schools,” Sullivan said, “because it marks the culmination of 13 years of education for our students.”

Sullivan added: “These benchmarks are just another indication of the strong schools we have serving our communities. As we celebrate these successes, we also want to ensure we maintain our focus and momentum as a district.”

The school district leadership team has been working to develop a new mission statement.

Moving forward, the mission of Rutherford County Schools is to invest in every student, every day.

“This statement will be at the heart of every academic decision we make,” Sullivan said.

Just a reminder that we do not allow food deliveries for students in grades 6-12 from the outside. Students need to bring their lunch or they can purchase one from the school cafeteria.

Representatives from Josh Houston Associates will be available during both High School lunches on Wednesday, November 20th for any student who wishes to purchase the official Eagleville Letterman Jacket. Sizing and ordering will be available on this day.

Our EMS students had the opportunity to participate in a Leadership Summit in Georgia. They competed in 2 competitions and both groups qualified for Nationals! They competed against lots of schools and represented Eagleville well. Our Collaboration Connection group scored a 19 out of 20 and our Lead Outside the Box group scored a perfect 20! They have been amazing and we are blessed to have such awesome students. Thank you to the parents and teachers that helped make this meaningful experience possible.

Elementary Eagle Expectations with poster below.

We are in full swing of practicing our Elementary School Wide Eagle Expectations! Ask your student questions to see if they know the expectations in different areas of the school!

We encourage you to use familiar vocabulary at home to help make connections within their home, school and community!

They are also working hard to earn Class Dojo points when they follow these expectations. They have a chance at the end of every month to "purchase" rewards from the Talon Trolley with their earned points.

The HOSA Club is collecting cans as a fundraiser again this year. Please dispose of your aluminum cans in 1 of the 5 recycling bins that are located in the hallways.

Per Rutherford County policy, elementary or middle school students cannot be dropped off at High School afterschool events including sports, without a parent or guardian. Middle School students are allowed to attend middle school events without a parent or guardian. Please make sure to arrange transportation at appropriate times.
