Ensuring Kindergarten Readiness: A Community-Wide Responsibility
When discussing ways to improve student achievement, the focus often falls on in-school factors such as test scores, curriculum, and staffing.
However, a child's readiness to learn is established long before they enter a classroom, and this is a key measure of a community's priorities.
In Northern Kentucky, only slightly more than half of the students meet the kindergarten readiness benchmark, while in River City communities like Covington and Newport, the figure is barely a third.
Whether a child starts school ready to learn is one of the clearest measures we have of a community’s priorities.
At EducateNKY, efforts are focused on changing this reality to ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed.
