LAUSD Data Shows Art Students Can’t Always Progress
Los Angeles Unified’s feeder school system is broken when it comes to arts education, a survey of school principals reveals.
Only about a quarter of elementary schools have nearby middle schools with any or enough art classes to allow students to keep building on the skills they’ve learned.
If a student takes up the flute in 5th grade, for example, she may have no chance to continue when she moves on to middle school.
