Abysmal National Report Card Shows Why Education Reforms Are Badly Needed in US
31st January 2025
The latest National Report Card from the National Assessment of Educational Progress paints an abysmal picture of education across the U.S.
The report card is published every two years and assesses the average reading and math scores for fourth and eighth graders. The report showed significant declines for students when it was published in 2022, but the decline was somewhat expected in the wake of school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. But the assessment completed in 2024 and published Wednesday show little to no improvement in students’ math and reading proficiency.
