ANDERSON, Ind. — Educators are getting a clearer picture of the impact the pandemic is having on schools and their students. It's not pretty.
In Anderson, the number of failing middle and high school students has more than tripled.
A year after the pandemic, staggering numbers of Anderson students are failing and not even showing up for class or virtual learning.
"We are not surprised. We are disappointed, but we are not surprised," said Mark Finger, the interim director of instruction for Anderson Community Schools.
