Student Math And Reading Scores During Covid 19 Pandemic Saw Biggest Drop In Decades Department Of Education

American students’ reading and math skills have been severely damaged during the coronavirus pandemic across nearly every demographic. A report on the nation’s plummeting test scores was released by the Department of Education on Thursday, showing dramatic losses across all U.S. students. “In 2022, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) conducted a special administration of the NAEP Long-Term Trend (LTT) reading and math assessments for 9-year-old students to examine student performance during the COVID-19 pandemic,” the Department of Education have been reported.

The report explains, “In 2022, reading and math scores for students at all five selected percentiles declined compared to 2020. In both subjects, scores for lowest-performing 9-year-olds declined more than scores for with higher performance compared to 2020.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Students wearing masks board a school bus outside the New Explorations School in Science, Technology and Math, in New York’s Lower East Side neighborhood, December 21, 2021.

More extensive data is expected to be released later this year as part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress, also known as the Nation’s Report Card.
