MAKING GRADE the

Schools and districts are required to provide data on how well they’re serving their students. But it can be hard to understand what the numbers mean to you and your student. This guide can help.

To understand today’s education benchmarks, we have to go back in time. In 1965, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. ESEA’s most prominent feature was Title I, designed to help low-income students overcome the achievement and accessibility gap between them and their middle-class suburban peers. Johnson believed quality education was essential to overcoming the poverty gap.

Nearly 60 years since ESEA became law, education in the United States has transformed dramatically. Over the years, ESEA was reauthorized several times and amended by other legislation. In 2002, the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was signed by President George W. Bush. NCLB attracted controversy, primarily because of strict accountability measures and subsequent penalties imposed upon schools. Schools were required to achieve “Adequate Yearly Progress” in reading and math, irrespective of any other curriculum areas.

In 2015, Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander introduced the Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA. Signed into legislation later that same year by President Barack Obama, ESSA was designed to address issues surrounding the practical application of NCLB, emphasizing greater control for school districts, community-determined measures for gauging performance,

and more flexibility within the federal achievement framework.

Community members worked with their states to create those measures of accountability, to be submitted for approval by the beginning of the 2017–2018 school year. According to the National Education Association, a labor organization that was one of the leading forces behind the passage of ESSA, state accountability measures had to include: reading and math assessments, graduation rates, another statewide indicator of success for middle and elementary schools, English language proficiency, and at least one indicator of school quality and student support.

The latter indicator, referred to by the NEA as the Opportunity Dashboard Indicator, allowed for more flexibility in quantifying the sum value of a school district.

The 2017–2018 school year saw the first year of ESSA implementation. Individual states, including Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, have further fine-tuned ESSA regulations through additional legislation. However, COVID-19 knocked schools and districts everywhere for a loop. Indiana even paused its rating system due to the pandemic’s impact.

As the world stabilizes in a post-COVID era, so, too, do the classrooms of America. Each state in the Greater Cincinnati tri-state area currently uses different accountability ratings systems. Here, we offer a primer on what those systems measure—and what it all means for you and your student.

OHIO SCHOOL REPORT CARD

Ohio’s accountability measures for rating schools and districts were implemented in 2018. House Bill 82 further amended the accountability law, taking effect in 2021. This amendment changed the previous rating system used to assess Ohio schools from letter grades (A, B, C, D, and F) to a scale of 1 to 5 stars, 1 being the worst and 5 being the best.

RATING SYSTEM: 1–5 STARS

Formerly: A–F grades

Significantly exceeds state standards

Exceeds state standards

Meets state standards

Needs support to meet state standards

Needs significant support to meet state standards

Introduced: 2021

The overall star rating includes the following components: Achievement Progress Gap Closing Early Literacy Graduation

A sixth component, Readiness, is included in the report data available online, but doesn’t contribute to the star ratings. Readiness encompasses college, career, workforce, and military preparedness. This component will be included in the report card for the 2024–2025 school year.

FOR INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS

CALCULATION

Each component has its own star rating and uses its own metrics, which are assigned weights to calculate the number of stars that component receives.

1 ACHIEVEMENT

Measures the academic achievement of students on State Tests, and whether that performance met established state thresholds. It assesses the level of achievement, not just proficiency, for students, but also tracks the percentage of students who scored proficient or higher on each Ohio State Test by grade level and subject.

Why It Matters

Knowing a school/district’s level of achievement helps you compare it to both the state average and other schools/districts.

2 PROGRESS

Measures the growth/ progress rates of groups of students year to year, using results from Ohio’s State Tests. The most recent school year’s growth is weighted higher than the previous school year. A statistical analysis, the Overall Value-Added Progress Measure, measures growth/ progress rates based on a growth index, which tracks whether expected growth/ progress occurred, and the effect size, which tracks how much growth occurred compared to the whole state.

Why It Matters

This shows you how effectively that school/district can help your student grow academically.

FOR OVERALL STAR RATING

The points from each Individual component are added together using another set of weights. The result is the overall star rating assigned to each school and each district.

3 GAP CLOSING

Measures how well performance expectations are met for students in different categories, including: Gifted Performance; Chronic Absenteeism Improvement; English Language Proficiency Improvement (specifically for English learners); Graduate Goals by Student Subgroup; English Language Arts and Math Achievement by Student Subgroup; and English Language Arts and Math Progress/Growth by Student Subgroup.

Why It Matters

By evaluating how well a school helps different student groups succeed, you can understand if the school/district provides a fair and effective education for all students.

4 EARLY LITERACY

Measures reading improvement and proficiency for K–3 students. How many students are proficient or higher on the reading portion of Ohio’s State Test for grade 3 English language arts? What is the percentage of third-graders promoted to fourth? How well are schools/districts supporting struggling readers to get on track?

Why It Matters

Foundational reading skills are crucial for academic success. Knowing how well a school/district helps young students develop those skills helps you determine whether that school/ district will set your kids on a path to success.

5 GRADUATION

Measures how successful a school or district is in getting a student to on-time graduation. There are two graduation rates assessed here: the fouryear cohort, or percentage of students who graduated within four years of starting the ninth grade, and the five-year cohort, or percentage of students who achieved the same within five years.

Why It Matters

The percentage of students graduating on time is an indicator of the support students receive throughout their four years in that school.

KENTUCKY SCHOOL REPORT CARD

Kentucky Senate Bill 158 passed in 2020, further clarifying ESSA accountability measures for the state’s school report cards. Added to the report cards was the measure of “change,” which was not put into effect until the 2022–2023 school year. “Status” signifies current year performance and “change” indicates the difference between the current and prior year.

SIX KEY TOPICS ARE EVALUATED ON THE REPORT CARDS: RATING

SYSTEM: FROM LOWEST TO HIGHEST PERFORMANCE

1 OVERVIEW

The total student body count and attendant demographics, and the percentage of students who drop out or repeat a grade. The total number of teachers and their level of involvement is assessed, as is parental involvement. Are students taught equitably? How many students participate in advanced coursework? How many are suspended or expelled, or chronically absent? How many computers are available? Is there sufficient WiFi access?

Why It Matters

All this helps parents get a sense of a school’s size, diversity, and overall feel.

2 ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

How are students progressing toward state goals? How are English language learners performing? How are students performing on the ACT college admission test? How prepared are students entering kindergarten? How are students performing in career and technical training programs?

Why

It Matters

Detailed student population breakdowns by various categories can help you see if there are programs and resources to support your student’s specific needs.

3 EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY

Can students participate in Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, or Cambridge Advanced International courses? Are dual credit enrollment opportunities available? Are there Gifted and Talented opportunities? What about students who want to participate in visual and performing arts, world languages, health education, physical education, or career studies courses?

Why

It Matters

The breadth and scope of opportunities a school offers shows you how well it prepares students for the future.

4 TRANSITION TO ADULT LIFE

How prepared are students for what comes after graduation? How many students graduate from a given school? How many are participating in career and technical education opportunities, like apprenticeships, career pathways programs, or earning industry certifications? After graduation, how many students go into the military, college, or the workforce?

Why It Matters

What does your student want to do next? This measure shows if the school can support their aspirations.

5 SCHOOL SAFETY

School safety analyzes the safety of schools and districts. How safe are they? What kinds of behavioral events occur at a given school, and how are they resolved? What steps is the school taking to ensure a safe learning environment?

Why It Matters

Knowing how a school or district handles all manner of threats to student safety is paramount for parental peace of mind.

6 FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY

What is the current financial overview of a school? How much state, local, and federal funding does a district receive? What is the per-student spending by school and district? How much does the school spend on the learning environment compared with other budgetary categories? What tax rates impact the district?

Why It Matters

Understanding the amount of investment a school pours into your student is critical to gauging the opportunities they will have access to at that school.

Academic Mastery

INDIANA GRADUATES PREPARED TO SUCCEED

The Indiana Graduates Prepared to Succeed dashboard was introduced in 2023, per Indiana House Enrolled Act 1591. This act did away with letter grades in favor of a report card presenting key data points within five characteristics of success. There are 17 indicators that measure the progress on these characteristics.

RATING SYSTEM: NONE

Formerly: A–F grades

Introduced: 2023

THE FIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCCESS ARE:

Communication and Collaboration

1 ACADEMIC MASTERY

Academic Mastery refers to a strong foundation in core academic subjects like English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. It evaluates whether students demonstrate a deep understanding of these subjects, and if they can apply their knowledge effectively.

Why It Matters

You want to know that your child will receive a quality education that prepares them for the future. A strong academic foundation can set your child up for success in college or a career path.

Career & Post-Secondary Readiness: Credentials and Experience

2 CAREER & POST-SECONDARY READINESS: CREDENTIALS AND EXPERIENCE

This characteristic highlights the importance of being prepared for college and career paths. Do students possess the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to make informed decisions about their future, whether pursuing higher education or entering the workforce directly after graduation?

Why It Matters

Academic knowledge is important, but knowing what to do with it is also key. Parents want to know that a school is equipping their child with the necessary skills and knowledge for a smooth transition post-graduation.

3 COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION

This characteristic encompasses skills crucial for success in any field. Students clearly articulate their ideas, work effectively with others, and navigate diverse perspectives respectfully. They are able to establish relationships with a variety of individuals.

Why It Matters

Effectively communicating and collaborating are both essential life skills. This characteristic helps parents gauge how well a school prepares their student for real-world scenarios.

Civic, Financial, and Digital Literacy

Work Ethic

4 WORK ETHIC

A strong work ethic is essential for achieving goals and overcoming challenges. Graduates are equipped with the skills necessary for perseverance, dedication, and a strong sense of responsibility and balance in their academic and personal endeavors. They demonstrate self-discipline and independence, and are able to plan and organize short and long-term goals. They are adaptable, show integrity, and exhibit professionalism.

Why It Matters

Perseverance is necessary for achieving goals. You can assess how well a school helps your child develop the dedication necessary for success in college, careers, and personal endeavors.

5 CIVIC, FINANCIAL AND DIGITAL LITERACY

These literacies empower individuals to actively participate as citizens in their community, making meaningful contributions based on a strong understanding of systems and individual responsibilities as citizens. Students responsibly manage their finances and effectively navigate the digital world. They possess the knowledge and skills to become informed citizens, making sound financial decisions and utilizing technology safely and ethically.

Why It Matters

These “real-life” areas are important long after students leave the classroom.

SCHOOLS GUIDE 2024 CINCINNATIMAGAZINE.COM 9

Melanie McClea watched her young son Devon struggle to identify the alphabet. He was bright and gifted in so many ways, but no matter how many learning techniques McClea employed to help him, the letters remained elusive.

“Everyone just said, ‘He’s not ready,’ ” McClea recalls. But even after repeating kindergarten, the letters still didn’t seem to click for Devon. A friend suggested McClea look into Springer School and Center, Cincinnati’s only school dedicated to students with learning disabilities. When an evaluation led to Devon’s dyslexia diagnosis, everything changed. “Diagnosis, in my opinion, is the beginning of the solution,” says Brett Marcoux, president of Springer School and Center. “A diagnosis is a step in the right direction.”

For McClea and many parents like her, the choice to leave their child’s previous school wasn’t easy at first. Devon had been at the same school for several years. The change would mean leaving friendships, upending routines, and adjusting to a new normal.

But the payoff came quickly. “I just saw him completely change. His confidence and everything was just blooming,” McClea says. Now 27, Devon is a thriving adult. A gifted dancer, he spent several years in Los Angeles at a dance school after graduating high school and attending Wright State University for one year. He’s currently enrolled in the Aviation Maintenance Technology program at Cincinnati State, still using the tools he learned at Springer: advocating for himself, studying with peers, and taking advantage of tutoring services. “[Springer] was the best decision we ever made,” McClea says.

Fast forward: McClea has two younger sons, and each was identified with dyslexia at a young age. This time, the decision to choose Springer was a no-brainer, especially for her second son, Leo, now a fourth grader. “By his second year of Springer, he was like a whole new child,” McClea says.

It’s Springer’s comprehensive approach to reaching students with learning disabilities—including dyslexia, ADHD, and executive functioning deficits—that makes the school both different and effective for students like McClea’s sons: students who are sharp and full of potential, but who see the world differently. Springer considers the educational, emotional, and social de-

velopment of every student.

Classrooms are small: two adults for eight to 12 students, depending on their age. Teachers are patient, never rushing the lessons or pushing kids through to the next grade. Historically, Springer students have gone on to achieve successful careers in the arts, sciences, corporate, and entrepreneurial fields. Alumni have attended prominent post-secondary institutions such as Boston University, George Washington University, Vanderbilt, and Yale. Many have achieved advanced degrees, leadership roles, and prestigious awards in their industries. “So many successful

Springer students have gone on to achieve successful careers in the arts, sciences, corporate, and entrepreneurial fields.

people have been diagnosed with learning disabilities,” says Marcoux.

For McClea, the experience with Springer is also a personal one. Having struggled herself with learning as a child and suffering the shame that came with it, it was only once her sons were diagnosed with dyslexia that she realized she likely had it too, though she’d never been formally diagnosed. Learning alongside her kids through Springer’s virtual COVID-19 classes made her realize that she’d been missing crucial instruction throughout her childhood. “It finally made sense in my head,” she says. “I never got to get taught like that. It just clicked. It was my ah-ha moment.”

McClea’s family is one of thousands whose lives have been changed by the Springer experience—an experience that extends beyond the students themselves into their families and the network of relationships around them.

Springer’s challenge now and into the

future is to not only reach but also make room for the myriad others in the community who could benefit from he its offerings. According to Marcoux, Springer continues to improve its organization and broaden the number of people they are able to serve. With a capital campaign that has raised more than $19 million (and counting), Springer has the resources to embark on its next chapter: a multi-pronged initiative to expand. But first, a look at where Springer has been.

Springer Then and Now

Springer opened in 1887 as the Cathedral School for the Archdiocese, welcoming 600 students in grades 1–12. From the beginning, the school had a heart for children with disabilities, featuring included programming for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. In 1968, Springer evolved into a specialized school for children with learning disabilities, a need determined by an assessment conducted by University of Cincinnati.

Breaking from the archdiocese in 1971, Springer became an independent, unaffiliated nonprofit school for children with learning disabilities. “When the school became independent in 1971, they were still just trying to learn what learning disabilities really meant,” says Marcoux. In the decades that followed, Springer continued to hone its specialty to meet the needs of the community and align with the most current educational research. “There will never be enough information out there,” says Marcoux. “We follow the research and keep getting better at what we do.” The Center was added in 1999, an outreach model that today continues to equip students, teachers, and parents in the community with educational programming and resources.

The school has moved locations several times over the years—with footprints in downtown, Over-the-Rhine, Mt. Adams, and Roselawn—but has been at been at its current six-acre location at 2121 Madison Rd. in Hyde Park since 1981. Currently, Springer is Cincinnati’s only learning disability school. It is one of only three in Ohio—the other two are in Columbus and Cleveland—and one of only about 50 nationwide. It goes without saying: Cincinnati is fortunate to have such a school. “Not every city has a Springer,” says Marcoux.

Springer’s Next Chapter

In 2020, right as the pandemic was unfolding, the Springer team began asking hard questions: How could they serve more students? How could they reach more families inclusively? The lower and middle schools were flourishing with about 200 students total, and the Center was continually adding deeper and more robust programming for the outside community, “but we weren’t reaching as many people as we thought we could,” says Kirstin Eismin, vice president of institutional advancement.

Springer’s board thought critically about the school’s expansion potential and embarked on a strategic plan. The resulting capital campaign raised more than $19 million. “We’re really fortunate to have a lot of people who care about Springer and who stepped up and supported us,” Eismin says.

The resulting funds are being directed into several buckets: financial aid, expanded Center offerings, construction and renovation projects, and an expanded diagnostics center.

As a specialized education, Springer comes at a cost, but the school is dedicated to breaking down financial barriers that may prohibit families from choosing the best educational path for their child. While full tuition for most lower and middle school students comes in at $31,000, Springer awards $1.23 million per year in financial aid to 56 percent of families. Ninety-five percent of students qualify for the Jon Peterson Special Needs Scholarship (approximately $12,470), which is available to Ohio residents, and average Springer aid is about $11,600 per student.

Expanded Center Offerings

As an extension to the school, The Springer Center for Learning Disabilities was launched in 1999. A subsequent name change and branding redesign came in 2000 for the whole organization, now Springer School and Center. Eisman describes Springer’s Learning Center as “a gift to the community.” Indeed, the array of workshops and courses offered to not only Springer’s students and families but also outside families and professionals is remarkable.

Through the Center, students have access to tutoring and summer programs, whether enrolled at Springer or not. Parent workshops, hosted both on campus and off site, give parents tools to understand and support their struggling learners. Whether it’s deciphering a child’s evaluation team report (ETR) or individualized education program (IEP), or simply being a listening ear to help shoulder the stress of parenting a child with a learning disability, Springer offers compassionate professionals to support parents.

Continuing education workshops are offered to help coach and equip education professionals to reach learners of varying abilities in their classrooms. The Center’s Distinguished Speakers Series hosts nationally renowned leaders in the education fi eld for both parents and educators to stay current with the latest advancements in learning disability research and best practices.

With funds from the capital campaign, Springer has renovated its existing building and increased spatial capacity and flexibil-

ity to continue offering Center programming, with less interference to students on property.

The newly reconfigured space includes a 400-seat auditorium with the potential to host student theater productions, graduation ceremonies, and large-scale community programming. The addition of four classrooms, administrative offices, and dedicated tutoring and diagnostic spaces with sound-proofing were also part of the expansion project.

Additional parking spots were also added in the place of a razed building on property.

Diagnostic Accessibility

One of the greatest hurdles in helping a student overcome the challenges of a learning disability is simply understanding the scope of the situation. Without a proper diagnosis, parents and educators may feel like they’re playing Whac-A-Mole blindfolded.

Parents might even receive well-intended but ultimately misguided information from traditional educators who don’t recognize the nuanced signs of a learning disability, especially if the symptoms are subtle or if the student has co-existing conditions. As a result, kids are too-often pushed through the system, barely scraping by, and may miss out on reaching the fullest potential of their personal and educational development.

Getting students tested for learning disabilities, however, can come with its own challenges. Often there is an agonizing waitlist that can be upwards of six months,

which can consume the majority of a student’s school year and can mean the child is struggling through an entire grade level.

Springer saw the opportunity to step into this gap. In September 2023, it opened the Diagnostics Center, a comprehensive evaluation resource to give parents answers more quickly and more efficiently than what was previously available in the region. Evaluations are available for children in grades K–12, beginning at age 6.

“What’s so cool is that it’s comprehensive,” says Eismin. Rather than scheduling multiple appointments with multiple specialists at multiple locations, the Springer Diagnostic Center is a one-stop shop. A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation includes assessment in cognition (information processing, memory, processing speed, and verbal/nonverbal abilities), academics (reading, writing, math, and spelling), social-emotional and executive function (including the ability to control feelings of anxiety or depression), and speech/language and motor skills (such as receptive language, expressive language, handwriting, and visual motor skills).

While these types of diagnostics are notoriously expensive, Springer’s financial aid programs can sometimes cover up to 90 percent of a family’s diagnostic bill, depending on need.

Eismin notes that the current waitlist at Springer Diagnostics is about six weeks.“It’s not about recruitment [for Springer],” says Eisman. “Once you have answers…you can take action.”

For some, that action might include considering Springer as their child’s school. But for many, the knowledge of their child’s specific diagnosis can lead to more effective strategies within their existing school environment.

Expanding Grade Levels

As the campaign was winding down, Springer’s accrediting body, Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS), floated the idea of Springer adding a high school to its existing lower and middle curriculum. “We leaned in, did a two-year study, and decided to pilot this program,” Eismin says.

In the 2023–2024 school year, Springer welcomed its first high school class: 14 ninth-grade students. Half of the students came from Springer middle school,

but the other half came from the outside community—students who wouldn’t have been reached had Springer not offered this option.

“What we didn’t know was that there were so many people we were missing by not having a high school,” Eismin says. She adds that these new-to-Springer high school students had likely been “getting by” and finding ways to cope within other educational systems that weren’t meeting their needs. Seeing these students flourish within an educational matrix that is designed for their learning needs added fuel to Springer’s fire; they felt compelled to continue making more room for those who needed it. “There’s nothing better than that,” says Eismin.

In December 2023, Springer’s board evaluated the success of the pilot high school program and voted to unroll a full high school in the coming years, adding one grade level each year as the current ninth grade class moves up. The hope is to enroll 25–30 students in the rising ninth grade class and have a full, 150-student high school once the high school is running at full capacity.

As an emerging program, Springer High School is built from a foundation of more than 50 years’ experience in independent learning disability education. Small class sizes facilitate confidence and curiosity, while a research-based curriculum helps students achieve Common Core milestones and develop the skills needed for post-graduate education. Flexibility and modification are baked into the instruction, as are clear and individualized learning goals for each student.

For the 2024–2025 school year, Springer’s high school will remain on its current campus in a newly renovated space, but a search is underway for a separate location for the high school.

Bright Futures

Like McClea’s experience with her three sons spanning multiple decades, Springer hopes to provide long-term solutions to the multigenerational educational needs of the tri-state community.

“A learning disability impacts the entire family. Everyone under the roof is impacted,” says Marcoux, whose seventh-grade daughter is also a student at Springer. “Our job is to bear the weight of

all the things that we need to do to make each child successful so that the family can be restored.”

Parents, he says, often pick up additional “hats” while navigating a child’s struggling school experience. They often assume roles of after-school educator, counselor, and round-the-clock advocate—often with the added weight of big emotions for all parties involved. Part of Marcoux’s joy is in seeing parents be able to “drop the other hats” when their child enrolls at Springer. “Restoring the parents’ ability to just be the parents again is heartwarming for me,” he says.

He also relishes the opportunity to watch the passion and purpose of his staff. “What I take a lot of pride in is seeing in the eyes of our staff and teachers just how meaningful this work is.” Though many families don’t look at or find out about Springer until they’ve been through the proverbial ringer and run out of other options, the message for parents is that they don’t have to reach rock bottom to start exploring the potential of Springer and its community resources.

For McClea, she’s grateful she knew about Springer when she first saw early signs of dyslexia in her younger two sons. She can’t imagine getting through her children’s early education without Springer. “If your kid is struggling in school, it is not fair to not give them the education they need,” she says. “Springer knows how to teach your child.”

“What I take a lot of pride in is seeing in the eyes of our staff and teachers just how meaningful this work is,” says Brett Marcoux, president of Springer School and Center.

SEEK AND FIND

Scholarships can help keep education costs low, but finding them is a challenge. Here’s where (and when!) to start.

IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY FOR PROSPECtive college students to begin searching for scholarships—at least, that’s what enrollment services at the University of Cincinnati say.

“Start looking as early as possible, even while you’re still in high school—junior year, senior year,” says Eric Christy, UC enrollment services specialist. “I always tell students to set aside adequate time to do that. I’d say make it like a full-time job.”

With academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a handful of personal essays, students can begin their scholarship application process. The next step to successfully earning college scholarships is knowing where to find them in the first place.

Fastweb (fastweb.com) and Scholarship America (scholarshipamerica.org) are free scholarship search platforms that connect students to scholarships and financial aid for public and private universities as well as trade schools across the nation.

The Cincinnati Scholarship Foundation (cincinnatischolarshipfoundation.org) is a local scholarship search platform, which aids students specifically in Greater Cin-

cinnati through partnerships with businesses, foundations, and individual donors in the region.

Most colleges and universities—including UC, Northern Kentucky University, and Xavier University—offer scholarship search portals as well. These types of search portals show financial aid offered by the universities themselves and can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to full-tuition reimbursement.

Through each search platform, students can scroll through thousands of results. Scholarships’ requirements depend on myriad characteristics—age, major, personal background, community involvement, and notable achievements, to name a few. Many universities advise students to filter their results based on the traits that apply best to them.

And in the midst of the scholarship search, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa) each year. The forms typically open in the fall and are awarded based on individual financial need. —EMMA BALCOM

LEARNING TO JUGGLE

HOW DO STUDENTS BALANCE HAVING JOBS WHILE PREPARING FOR THEIR CAREERS? —BRIANNA CONNOCK

With hours of classes, studying, and exams, being a student is a full-time job. In fact, students are often told by parents and professors that being a student is their full-time job, and they should treat it as such.

However, with the increasing cost of classes and rising living expenses, as well as daunting student loans, many students must work a part- or even full-time job to continue their schooling. So how do students juggle learning and working?

Adrienne Stolitca has been studying to become a physical therapist at UC for seven years. She’s

now wrapping up her education and getting ready to embark on her career, but she’s really been working all along.

During her time as an undergraduate, Stolitca worked for UC’s Learning Commons as a tutor during the week and worked as a server on the weekends. While she says it was a struggle at times, she was able to balance it all with time management and prioritization.

“My biggest advice to students [in this situation] today is accepting the fact that sometimes you’ll have to miss out on doing fun things,” Stolitca says. “When you do have a break, make

sure to take it and do fun things with your friends and family.”

Working while taking classes, in Stolitca’s experience, was common among students. She says about half of the people she knew had a job while in school, and the number rose every year.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 42.4 percent of full-time college students and 81 percent of parttime college students “participate[d] in the labor force” (that is, worked), in October of 2022.

Depending on their circumstance, it’s important for students to be prepared for

the reality that school may not be their only job when they start college—and that it’s OK to slow your roll when you need to.

“If I were able to redo it, I would have slowed down and taken fewer classes at a time,” Stolitca says. “College and higher education will always be there. It is OK to take a break if you need one.”
