(Not So Fun) Facts

"Writing skills continue to decline in schools" - LA Times, Jan 2020

1. "If a student writes one paper per quarter, four papers a year, in ninth through 12th grades, that totals 16 papers in one’s high school career. But more often than not, students receive even less writing practice than that. "   


2. In 2011, a nationwide test found that only 24 percent of students in eighth and 12th grades were proficient in writing, and just 3 percent were advanced. - Washington Post


3. "40% of those who took the ACT writing exam in the high school class of 2016 lacked the reading and writing skills necessary to complete successfully a college-level composition class…”  - New York Times, 2017


And there are our Young Authors. From gifted students to those struggling to put pen to paper, our blossoming writers make us so proud. Take a look at their writing!
