Math isn’t just about numbers — it’s about opportunity. A study in the journal “Plos One” shows that individuals with strong math skills earn more over their lifetimes and report greater job satisfaction. Isn’t that what we want for our kids?
Yet, in the Garden State, many students are struggling to keep up. If we want to set our children up for success, we need real transparency from schools about their kids’ math proficiency.
The new school dashboard on the Wake Up Call NJ website lets you look up your school district to see what percentage of students in each grade level scored below, at, or above proficiency for that grade level’s math standards. This gives you a better idea of whether your child’s As and Bs actually mean anything.
