This document discusses the educational challenges often faced by children in foster care. It notes that children in foster care are more likely to experience school failure, lack educational stability and continuity, fall behind academically, and receive special education services at higher rates than other children. They also have higher dropout rates and risks of problems after exiting the foster care system. The document provides questions for advocates and caregivers to ask to help identify and address these children's educational needs, risks, support services required, and ensure their legal educational rights are upheld.
