The Problem: Math Struggles in PRJUSD
The reality is that many PRJUSD students are facing significant challenges in math. The district’s data shows that a substantial number of students are not meeting the state’s math standards, and the gap between those who excel and those who struggle is growing. This is not just a matter of individual students; it’s a systemic issue that affects the entire student body. The consequences of this struggle can be far-reaching, impacting not only students’ academic success but also their future career prospects and overall well-being. Some of the key statistics that highlight the scope of the problem include: + 25% of PRJUSD students are not meeting the state’s math standards + The average student scores 2-3 grades below the state average + The gap between high-achieving and struggling students is widening, with some students falling as far as 5-6 grades behind their peers
