 The Louisiana Department of Education says 56% of K-3rd graders were reading at grade level at the end of the school year. That's up from 45% at the beginning of the year. Deputy Superintendent of Education, Dr. Jenna Chasson. We have a lot of students who still aren't able to read on grade level. We know that what we are currently doing is working. We need to keep up that work. LRN. Attention! All dogs for the new lottery ticket, $50,000. Lucky Dog, please be ready in five minutes.
