school-ready
Set for class
School-ready describes a child who has developed the skills, behaviors, and knowledge considered necessary to succeed in a formal educational setting.
This typically includes basic social abilities like following directions and getting along with others, as well as foundational academic readiness such as recognizing letters or counting.
The term appears frequently in early childhood education contexts, where parents and educators assess whether a child is school-ready or might benefit from another year of preschool.
