Ava Prince - TCAP Perfect Score!
Fifth Consolidated is proud to recognize and congratulate Ava Prince for making a perfect score on the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program
(TCAP) - Math portion!
"As a school, we are so proud of the accomplishments of our students on the TNReady assessment. We are honored to recognize Ava Prince, from Mrs. Magen Purvis' 4th-grade class, for earning a perfect score on the TCAP Math Assessment. Ava consistently works hard and is truly dedicated to succeeding academically, and this honor further proves her commitment. The partnership between our highly motivated student body and our compassionate faculty and staff continues to result in academic excellence at Fifth Consolidated." - Mrs. Lou Ann Peery, Principal.
The Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) is designed to assess true student understanding, not just basic memorization and test-taking skills. It is a way to assess what our students know and what we can do to help them succeed in the future.
"I love school," stated Ava Prince, 5th-grade student at FCES. "I think one of the reasons I have excelled in math is because it is my favorite subject. I am just so happy that I got this award. I would like to thank the teachers and the school."
"We are always proud of Ava's accomplishments, but we are extremely proud of this academic achievement. We are grateful for the nurturing staff at Fifth Consolidated Elementary School." - Jarrod and Nikki Prince, Ava Prince's parents.

Under Construction...
In order to keep the construction area clear of any unnecessary traffic during the day, we will be adding some traffic cones near the Pre-K area to limit traffic flow around the building until 2:30pm each afternoon. This will begin next week and will remain in place throughout the school year. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this project!
