NAEP Scores Show Pandemic's Lasting Impact on Literacy
The latest National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), known as the Nation's Report Card, reveals that U.S. students in fourth and eighth grades continue to struggle in recovering from pandemic-related learning losses, particularly in reading and math. Mississippi has shown significant improvements, ranking first in reading and math score gains, while states like California and Texas have experienced declines, with California's socioeconomically disadvantaged students facing the largest performance gaps. San Diego students performed better than many peers, maintaining pre-pandemic levels in certain areas, yet nationwide, math and reading scores remain at concerning lows. In Colorado, fourth-grade math scores have rebounded to 2003 levels, but reading scores continue to decline. Efforts across various states emphasize the need for targeted interventions, teacher collaboration, and additional resources to address the ongoing educational challenges.
