Science Education by the Numbers

The emphasis on teaching Math and English Language Arts often pushes quality science education to the wayside, and as a result:

In 2024, only 33% of all 5th grade students scored proficient in the California Science Test (CAST). The graph below shows the difference in proficiency by race.
Since Covid started in 2020, science education has been de-prioritized even further

Help Even More by Providing Essential Funding!

Thank you to these partners whose employees have given their time and expertise to CRS's science education outreach programs!

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
