Opinion: New NAEP Report Shows Learning Progress Has Stalled. Here’s What to Do About It
The latest NAEP Long-Term Trend assessment reveals stagnant academic progress for 13-year-olds in math and reading, with scores significantly lower than pre-pandemic and 2012 levels. While 9-year-olds show some improvement, overall student performance remains below historical peaks, and fewer students report reading for fun or discussing school topics with families. The report links declining engagement to increased screen time and shifts in educational policies.
