8th Grade Students Proficient in English/Language Arts

Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator shows the percentage of eighth grade students who are proficient or above in English/Language Arts.
This value refers to students who have scored Mastery and above in English/Language Arts as measured by the Louisiana Education Assessment Program (LEAP) standardized examination.

Why is this important?

The ability to read proficiently is a fundamental skill that affects the learning experiences and school performance of children and adolescents. Students who are competent readers, as measured by their performance on reading tests, are more likely to perform well in other subjects, such as math and science. Reading achievement also predicts one's likelihood of graduating from high school and attending college.
