In addition to delivering high quality core curriculum, Texas public schools offer programming such as fine arts, extracurriculars, and dual language instruction.

High-quality pre-K has a remarkable impact on children’s reading skills. 

At the start of the 2022-23 school year, only 41% of pre-K students in Texas demonstrated reading proficiency. By the end of the school year, that number jumped to 83%. Through the development of emergent literacy skills, pre-K programs improve kindergarten readiness and create a foundation for long-term learning.
