Math is more than numbers. It's a foundation for future success.

By eighth grade, students are building the problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical skills they'll carry into high school, college, and future careers. Strong math skills don't just prepare students for STEM fields. They strengthen reasoning, decision-making, and confidence in every aspect of learning.

Our latest 2026 Children's Data Book highlights where eighth grade math achievement stands today, why these results matter, and the opportunities we have to help every student reach their full potential. Understanding the data is the first step toward creating meaningful change for children and families across our community.

Kindergarten readiness is one of the strongest indicators of a child's future success, and it starts long before the first day of school.

This year's findings from Santa Clara County show that kindergarten readiness is shaped by more than academic skills alone. Access to quality early childhood education, family engagement, daily reading, healthy routines, and strong community support all play a critical role in helping children enter the classroom ready to learn. The data also highlights where children are thriving and where additional investments can create better outcomes for every child.

Understanding these trends helps families, educators, community organizations, and policymakers make informed decisions that strengthen opportunities for children across our region. Every data point represents a child, and every child deserves the opportunity to begin school with the support they need to succeed.

Kindergarten readiness is more than a milestone. It’s one of the strongest indicators of a child’s future success in school and beyond.

The Children's Data Book shows that only 35% of children in Santa Clara County are fully ready for kindergarten, highlighting the need for continued investment in early learning, family support, and equitable access to quality preschool opportunities. The data also reveals disparities in readiness across different communities, reminding us that every child deserves the opportunity to start school ready to thrive.

Understanding these trends helps our community make informed decisions, advocate for meaningful change, and invest in solutions that give every child the best possible start.

Access to child care is about more than early education. It's about giving families the stability they need to work, children the opportunity to learn and grow, and communities the foundation to thrive. 💙

Across Santa Clara County, thousands of families are navigating the challenge of earning too much to qualify for many assistance programs while still struggling to afford quality child care. Expanding access to affordable early care and education, including Transitional Kindergarten (TK), can help close that gap and create stronger outcomes for children and families alike. Recent data also shows that participation in Transitional Kindergarten continues to grow, reflecting the increasing need for and value of these programs.

The Santa Clara County Children's Data Book brings these stories to life through data, highlighting trends in child care, education, health, housing, food security, and other factors that shape the well-being of children across our region. Developed through a partnership between Kids in Common, Healthier Kids Foundation, the County of Santa Clara, and the Santa Clara County Office of Education, the Data Book serves as a valuable resource for parents, educators, advocates, nonprofit leaders, and policymakers working to improve outcomes for every child.

Real impact happens when organizations bring their strengths together.

By bringing systems change and direct service under one shared vision, we're building on the work that's already making a difference while creating new opportunities to support children and families for years to come. This transition isn't about ending a mission. It's about strengthening it so the impact reaches even further.
