“Arts Rich” students (those who participate in the arts for at least 60 minutes per week) out-perform arts poor students in every academic measure.

Students who participate in the arts are:

4 X more likely to be recognized for academic achievement

3 X more likely to be elected to class office

4 X more likely to participate in a math/science fair

3 X more likely to win an attendance award

4 X more likely to win an award for writing

3 X more likely to go on to higher education

Don't rely on a roll of the dice. Increase the odds of success through the arts.
