A student’s educational experience through elementary and middle school impacts their ability to achieve in high school. Why are high schools the focus of this initiative?
A student’s experience in preschool through eighth grade is the essential foundation for high school. Students must come to ninth grade ready for high school material or they will face significant challenges in meeting graduation expectations. Louisiana has seen significant gains in early childhood and elementary education in the last few years. Our high schools, on the other hand, have remained relatively unchanged.
