TCA FAMILY NEWS!

We’re celebrating an INCREDIBLE year at TCA and couldn’t be more proud of our students AND teachers. We have a few stats we’d love to share!

This year, 64% of students in grades 3–8 reached reading proficiency (up from 57% last year), and 42% reached math proficiency- both showing major growth and surpassing pre-pandemic levels. Even more exciting, nearly 25% of our 7th and 8th graders are already taking high school-level math courses.

Our youngest learners are shining too, with K–2 students achieving over 100% of their typical growth in both reading and math this year.

These results reflect the hard work, dedication, and heart our students bring every day- and the unwavering commitment of our teachers who make it all possible.
Congratulations to the entire TCA community on an amazing year. We’re so proud of you all.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at Happy Bobas today to support TCA! The fundraiser goes into 8 pm tonight, so there's still time to get your boba fix!

Huge thanks to everyone who danced the night away at our Valentine’s Day Glow Dance Party! 💖✨ Together, we raised over $1,100 for TCA! Check out some of the photos and relive the fun!

We were happy to help design teacher, Ms. Furlong, do more 3D printing with our middle school students with purchasing a special Print Lab license. We can't wait to see what the kids create!
