Rutherford County and Murfreesboro City schools recently learned their state report card letter grades that ranged from As to Ds.

The letter grades from the Tennessee Department of Education are based on the standardized test results for students the previous school year.

For elementary and middle schools, each grade counts 50% for student achievement, 40% for student academic growth and 10% for academic growth for highest need students.

For the high school level, each grade counts 50% for student achievement, 30% for student academic growth, 10% for academic growth for highest need students and 10% for college and career readiness.

Rutherford County Schools serves pre-K through 12th-grade students at 50 schools with 48 eligible for report card grades for standardized test results. The district's two alternative schools serving students expelled from other schools are ineligible for the report card grades.

The county district had 20 As, 15 Bs, nine Cs and four Ds.

Murfreesboro City Schools serves pre-K through sixth-grade students at 13 elementary schools that prepare many children for the Rutherford County middle schools and high schools.
