"Our reading scores have improved tremendously over the years with the assistance of CORE. From a school that was 'failing' to a school now in 'good standing,' we are now considered a 'beacon' school for reading. Many schools throughout our state have visited to see how we implement our reading program and interventions. Thank you, CORE!"
