Education
Educating our
children imparts upon them general knowledge, the power of reasoning
and establishes their mature life. The term “education” encompasses
teaching and learning specific skills – skills that our young people
carry with them throughout their lives.
When a child
receives a quality education, their own personal development, as
well as the economic and social progress of our society, are
impacted in a positive way.

·
Children Not Successful in School
FCAT
Truancy
Graduation Rates
