Most New Jersey public school students can’t read or do math at grade level - and their parents don’t even know. 55% of NJ fourth graders can't do math at grade level. By sixth grade, it’s 64%.
Good grades on last year’s final report card can mislead parents. And a long summer of no math instruction only makes things worse for kids.
As the new school year approaches, parents deserve to know how their child is really performing.
Start with a short grade-level checkup in math.
Reach out to your child’s math teacher to ask questions about your child’s skills.
Develop a plan for you, your child and your teacher to measure progress in math the first month of school.
Together we can improve our public schools for your child and all NJ children.
