College and Career Readiness

Bottom Line Result

• “Students who are not on target for college and career readiness by the eighth grade will have a very difficult time making up the ground they have lost. Without sufficient preparation prior to high school, students cannot maximize the academic benefits of high school while they are there.”

It’s a district effort!
