The long-range goal of Littles to Leaders is to increase kindergarten readiness in Leon County from 50% to 60%. Ensuring our kindergarteners are ready for school success is a predictor of 3rd grade reading proficiency. Students that are proficient readers in 3rd grade are far more likely to graduate from high school and go to college or a technical institution.
