Read to Achieve (North Carolina)

The goal of Read to Achieve is to ensure that every student reads at or above grade level by the end of third grade and continues to progress in reading proficiency so that they can read, comprehend, integrate, and apply complex texts needed for secondary education and career success.

A student may only have one active At Risk record at any given time. Overlapping records are not allowed.
