Student Test Scores Are Sliding

“Scores for 12th-graders in math and reading continued their years-long slide, reaching new lows on national tests,” the Washington Post reports.

“The declines were underway before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, which broadly disrupted education, and scores have continued to fall. Policymakers had hoped there would be signs of recovery by 2024, when these tests were administered. Instead, the results were the latest indication of the pervasive challenges facing American schools and students.”
