As we come closer and closer to finishing another year of school, it is easy to begin reflecting on how everything has went. Lombard is a fantastic school and there are so many stories and pieces of data that I could share that shows this.  However, I came across some interesting facts on public education as a whole that I felt compelled to share.

- test scores today on the National Assessment of Education Progress are the highest they have ever been in history for white, black, Hispanic, and Asian students
- The graduation rates today are the highest they have ever been in history for white, black, Hispanic, and Asian students
- U.S. adults in the age group 19-24 have a 90% high school graduation rate
- The U.S. drop out rate is the lowest it has ever been in history
-On the most recent Program of International Student Assessment the U.S. students in low-poverty schools were number one in the world
