Abstract

To help inform strategies to improve children’s school readiness, this study looked at readiness community by community.

This brief answers the questions:

  • How does school readiness differ across communities within Oregon?
  • What factors help to explain these differences?

The article examines links between social determinants across communities and school readiness of children attending kindergarten in each community, in literacy, math, self-regulation, and social skills.
