Five years after the pandemic disrupted education, national reading scores reveal systemic declines across the U.S., except in Louisiana. The state, previously ranked last, has surged to 16th place in reading scores due to focused efforts in its education system. The Natchitoches Parish School District, despite facing economic challenges, demonstrates a remarkable turnaround by maintaining high expectations for all students, showcasing a commitment to rigorous educational standards. This success is supported by the Education Recovery Scorecard, illustrating effective recovery strategies in literacy and numeracy post-pandemic.
