"NAEP long-term trend results are disappointing but not surprising. COVID negatively affected student performance across the board and exacerbated systemic problems in achievement that preceded COVID, notably high performing students – top quartile – holding steady or making modest gains/losses while bottom quartile students – those already the most vulnerable – are falling farther behind.
In math, the top 10% of students nationwide declined 3 points while the bottom 10% declined 12 points.
English Language Arts tells a similar story for national trends. Among these declines, black students fared the worst.
Recovery back to where we were before COVID should not be our goal.
No one was satisfied with that performance. We now have an opportunity to lead and transform the disrupted education system to serve all students, top performers and those who are not finding success in the current system.” -Commissioner Frank Edelblut
