A national academic achievement test released this week shows that average reading scores for 4th and 8th graders declined from 2017 to 2019.
A national academic achievement test released on Wednesday showed that average reading scores for fourth and eighth graders declined from 2017 to 2019.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Wednesday addressed the scores in a speech, calling the numbers a"reason for deep concern." "In reality, scores have not improved enough," DeVos added."Achievement has not improved enough. And our children continue to fall further and further behind their international peers.
"Over the past decade, there has been no progress in either mathematics or reading performance. The lowest performing students -- those readers who struggle the most -- have made no progress in reading from the first NAEP administration almost 30 years ago," said Peggy Carr, the associate commissioner for the National Center for Education Statistics, according to a tweet from the NAEP.
