A Surprising Sliver of Hope in New NAEP Scores for the Lowest-Performing Kids
The latest NAEP results show gains in reading and math for 9-year-olds, particularly among the lowest-performing students, with math scores for the 10th percentile rising 7.5 points and reading scores increasing 9.3 points. These improvements contrast with continued declines for 13-year-olds and may reflect a rebound from pandemic-related disruptions and federal funding.
