Summer Learning is Important to Student Success :
"... Most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months. Low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement. And the alarming thing is: that loss is cumulative. More than half of the achievement gap between lower- and higher-income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning opportunities. As a result, low-income youth are less likely to graduate from high school or enter college. By middle school, many kids will be hopelessly behind, putting the chance of entering college or even graduating from high school at risk."
