Math and reading scores logged one of the largest declines on record over the past two years. It's not just the pandemic causing kids to struggle.
The results were part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress long-term trend reading and math exams, often called the"Nation's Report Card," conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics. The exams were administered to age-9 students in early 2020 before the pandemic and then again in early 2022, the group said.
"These are some of the largest declines we have observed in a single assessment cycle in 50 years of the NAEP program," said acting NCES Associate Commissioner Daniel McGrath."Students in 2022 are performing at a level last seen two decades ago."Students already behind struggled more, with their math scores falling by up to 12 points and reading score declining up to 10 points."Covid-19 disruptions may have exacerbated many of the challenges we were already facing.
