Ensuring Kindergarten Readiness: A Community-Wide Responsibility
When discussing improved 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, reflecting a community's priorities.
In Northern Kentucky, only slightly over half of the students meet the kindergarten readiness benchmark, while in River City communities like Covington and Newport, barely a third do.
These numbers aren’t just statistics; they are a mirror held up to our community reflecting the truth about whether we are living up to our shared belief that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed.
At EducateNKY, efforts are focused on changing this reality.
