[quote=Anonymous]Recent reports show U.S. high school students' math and reading scores have dropped to their lowest levels in decades, continuing a trend of decline. The National Assessment of Educational Progress ("The Nation's Report Card") found that nearly half of high school seniors are testing below a basic level in both subjects, with reading scores hitting a historic low since testing began in 1992.

Historic lows: The most recent data from the Nation's Report Card shows 12th-grade reading and math scores at their lowest since the respective tests began in 1992 and 2005.

Below basic levels: Nearly half of all high school seniors are scoring below the "basic" achievement level in both math and reading.
Impact of the pandemic: The declines are seen as a continuation of a trend that was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted learning for years.

Broader trends: The decline is not limited to high schoolers; earlier reports showed significant drops in math and reading scores for younger students as well.

Skills deficit: Students are graduating with fewer skills and less knowledge in core academics than their predecessors, a concerning trend in a society that increasingly demands higher-level skills. [/quote]
