      Cool. Any speculation as to how they did it?

          They did 3 key things I’ve heard:

          • passed 2021 law requiring literacy training for teachers
          • emphasized phonics in districts
          • empowered teachers to hold students back who aren’t passing literacy tests

          (Joke) Also Louisiana was at 0% so they only had one direction to go

            One of the things I have hear about US schools is that they do a lot of "social promotion". So, someone will get promoted to the next grade level even if they really didn't meet the standard.
