Every child enters kindergarten ready to succeed

Students who get off to a strong start and have access to quality early learning experiences will enter Kindergarten ready to succeed and be more likely to read by third grade. School readiness starts long before a child enters a kindergarten classroom. 36% of the Sonoma County students who entered a Kindergarten classroom in the fall of 2019 were assessed as ready to go. In addition, a large disparity exists between Latino students and their White peers.
