NAEP results released Wednesday showed little change in average math and reading scores for New Jersey, but gaps between the state’s lowest- and highest-performing students widened.

Scores for eighth grade reading and math as well as fourth grade reading are basically the same as NAEP results from 2022.

Indiana students’ NAEP scores are still lower on average than before the pandemic, but remain higher than national averages.

Fourth and eighth graders did not make significant improvements to reading and math scores on the “nation’s report card” since historic lows in 2022.

The latest results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress reveal the city’s fourth graders are not recovering from pandemic disruptions at the same rate.

The 2024 NAEP results will add fuel to ongoing debates about pandemic-era school closures, COVID relief, screen time, the science of reading, and more.

Mississippi’s improvements seem to be legitimate, but some of them can’t be explained as easily as some are suggesting.

Chicago officials voice concerns about slipping NAEP results on the “nation’s report card,” but also highlight bright spots.

The results mirrored math trends seen across the country, with historic drops for fourth graders. But reading scores defied the national trend.

Philadelphia’s NAEP scores have long been below national averages and remained so in 2022.

The NAEP math decline represented Colorado students’ lowest scores in nearly two decades on the test known as the nation’s report card.

Nine-year-olds across the country saw historic drops in math and reading scores on a key national test.

Some researchers say it’s likely. Federal NAEP scores have been stagnant for high schoolers, but that could be due to falling dropout rates.

Grade inflation is one potential explanation. Meanwhile, American students are also taking more advanced classes.

Overall, scores either remained unchanged or declined.
