high school studentsEspecially the twelfth graders, they read and Learn mathematics And science at its lowest historical levels, according to New report From the national evaluation of the progress of education.
The new report, known as the nation’s report card, was issued on Monday by the National Center for Education Statistics, or NCes, and the Ministry of Education. This is the first nation report card that has been released since Coronavirus.
The report shows approximately half of the elderly in high schools now tests less than the basic levels of mathematics and reading, and about 35 % in or higher than the efficiency reading level, while 32 % of them have efficiency in the “basic” reading below.
In comparison, 37 % of the elderly in high schools were reading at or higher than the efficiency in the 2019 report card, and 40 % were in or higher than reading efficiency in 1992.
In mathematics, the report shows only about 22 % of the twelfth graders who perform at or higher than efficiency standards.
The report card also looked at the eighth grade students and their scientific ability and found that 31 % of them were performing in skilled or higher standards.

There is another major issue that has been highlighted, which is absenteeism, as the number of students absent in schools increased among all age groups since the epidemic.
According to the report, in 2024, about 31 % of the twelfth grade students specifically reached the loss of at least three days or more of the school in the previous month, an increase of 2019, when the rate was 26 %.
Teachers and policy makers say it is very important for parents to remain involved and regularly move with students and teachers about tasks and any absence.
The Minister of Education, Linda McMahon, described the results of the report as “destroyed” in A. statement Tuesday.
McMahon said: “The results of Naep today confirm the existence of a devastating trend: American students are tested at the lowest historical levels in all K-12,” adding, despite the spending of billions annually on many K-12 programs, the achievement gap expides, and the greater number of the elderly in schools expand less than the basic standard in Math and Reading more than that. “
The Ministry of Education was significantly lowering employees and services under McMahon, including researchers who produced the new nation report card. President Donald Trump assigned McMahon with Dismantling its section In total and delivery of control of the educational business schedules of the states.
“Success is not related to the amount of money we spend, but whoever controls the money and where is this money invested,” she said on Tuesday.
Marti West, Professor of Education at Harvard UniversityTell ABC News that the results are fate because only part of the American students get the education they deserve.
“The most bothering me about the patterns we see is that the declines are greater for our least-performing students-those in the lower quarter of the distribution. Meanwhile, high-grade students-those who are doing the nineties at all, at all, at all, at all, at all, at all, at all, at all.” The West said. “Therefore, this really highlights the extent to which American schools are currently preparing some students only for high school success.”
