UNDERSTANDING OUR WHY
WORKING TO IMPROVE THE STATISTICS
In Georgia, our current third graders have faced significant challenges due to the impact of COVID-19 in 2020. During these crucial developmental years, they spent nearly two years primarily indoors and engaged with screens, which severely affected their access to education.
As a result, over 70% of our third graders are not proficient in math or reading at their grade level, with this issue being particularly pronounced in underserved and underperforming communities that lacked adequate resources. This is why we are committed to working tirelessly to improve the educational outcomes for these early learners. Our goal is to equip them with the necessary tools and resources to achieve success in their future lives.
