Tennessee SCORE is a small to mid-sized independent nonprofit focused on education policy reform in Tennessee. It engages across the full education spectrum—from kindergarten through postsecondary—by advocating for students, monitoring progress, researching new approaches, and partnering with educators. Its work aims to ensure excellent K-12 education, credential or degree attainment, career readiness for economic independence, and equitable opportunities for all students. Based in Nashville, SCORE was founded in 2009 by Senator Bill Frist, MD, and operates as an independent, nonpartisan education organization. In 2021, it partnered with Southwest Tennessee Community College in Memphis to create a 10-week Summer Institute, reflecting its collaborative approach to education reform.
