At a Glance

Tennessee is notable for having several types of early and middle college high schools. The state is also making developmental studies widely available for at-risk students. Major goals of the Board of Regents include access to college and high educational quality. The state has demonstrated concern about low college completion rates in the state. A common high school core is required for graduation. To be eligible for financial aid from state lottery funds, students must have 20 core units and a 3.0 unweighted overall GPA and a 3.0 college core GPA out of a possible 4.0.
