  4. Facts and Figures • More than 27,000 students in Ohio are not reading at grade level in the third grade (2011-12). • Newly-released NAEP Reading scores show Ohio’s fourth graders have made no reading gains in a decade. • Studies show if children cannot read on grade level by the end of third grade, they are four times more likely than proficient readers to leave school without a diploma. • Students who don’t read proficiently by the third grade make up nearly 60 percent of all high school dropouts. (Annie E. Casey) • 24,000 Ohio students drop out every year. Most are poor readers.
