3rd grade retention: Find your school district scores here

Published May 24, 2023 | By Erik Schelzig

Under a new law, students who don’t meet expectations for reading proficiency face the prospect of being held back for another try at third grade. Children in the “approaching” category can take summer school or tutoring to try to make up lost ground and advance to fourth grade.

See how your school district did in data released by the state Department of Education:
