This report outlines the Baltimore Leadership in Action Program’s recommended strategies for achieving seven goals aimed at improving school readiness for the children of Baltimore, Maryland.
27% of Baltimore City kindergarteners were fully school-ready upon entering kindergarten, compared to 55% of all kindergarteners in Maryland.
Children in Baltimore City are behind their peers across the state in every domain of learning except physical development.
Fewer than 20% of children whose first language is not English were assessed as fully school-ready.
Baltimore's children lag far behind their peers across the state when it comes to school readiness. Investing the time and resources needed to substantially improve school readiness, while daunting, is essential to ensuring that today's children become responsible, healthy, educated, self-sustaining adults.
