Louisiana’s education rankings have improved over the past few years, recently peaking at 40th in education on the U.S. News World and Report rankings. State Superintendent Cade Brumley wants to keep the ball rolling.
Additionally, as of 2022, Louisiana’s fourth-graders have shown the most reading growth in the nation, according to the Nations Report Card.
He made a stop in Lake Chares on Thursday to speak at the Republican Women of SWLA luncheon to discuss his goals and plans for Louisiana’s education system.
“Louisiana doesn’t have to be last in education,” he said. “In fact, if we continue to make smart decisions we can continue to move the needle in the right direction.”
“Now I don’t think we can do that being weak, and I don’t think we can do that if we continue along the same line of status quo that we’ve always followed.
We have to make bold changes, we have to be assertive and aggressive in approaches, and I think we have to be brave.”

For Brumley, bravery is more than an attribute. It’s an acronym – one that lays out his plans for the future of Louisiana’s education system.
