Williamson County Schools has plenty to be proud of according to the 2011 State Report Card.  The Tennessee Department of Education released Friday complete results from the 2011 state report card, including district- and school-level data indicators from student achievement and growth on standardized tests, to attendance and behavior.

The yearly report provides a profile of each school district throughout the state, using various standardized assessments and collected statistics to award grades. The 2011 Report Card is based on performance and statistics from the 2010-11 school year.

“I'd like to thank the teachers and the principals for working so hard and having such a focus on student achievement in Williamson County," Superintendent Dr. Mike Looney said.  "I also want to thank our elected officials for giving us the resources and to our students for stepping up to the plate and proving once again that Williamson County rocks."
