“Most Likely To Succeed” has been called “a message all Americans need to hear, and desperately test” (Huffington Post) and urges parents and educators to stop evaluating student’s progress solely on test scores and, instead, focus on instilling in students creative problem-solving, real learning, and a true joy of discovery. The film also offers a re-imagining of what quality education could and should be in the future.
