According to the NAEP, only 22% of 8th graders are proficient in civics. That's the first time this score has dropped since the test started in 1998.

This Constitution Day (Sept. 17), 350+ lawyers and judges across Washington are heading into K-12 classrooms to help change that through the state's free Lawyers in the Classroom program.
