Time running out for America’s high schoolers crisis
A pan demic era cohort entering ninth grade in 2020 faces graduation this spring with significant learning loss. ACT scores hit a 30 year low, only 20 percent met college readiness in all four areas, and 43 percent met none. Houston district shows half of high schoolers failing at least one course since the pandemic began. Authorities urge candid parent outreach, targeted proficiency testing, recovery centers with community colleges, and postgraduation gap options, using up to $90 billion in unspent federal aid to fund recovery efforts.
