The initial results from 2022 show the first-ever declines in math & the largest drop in reading achievement since the 1980s. "These are some of the largest declines in 50 years," says Acting NCES Assoc. Commissioner Daniel McGrath. nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/ltt…

The results underscore the widespread educational disruptions that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, lower-performing students were already experiencing declines. Since 2020, students at all levels are moving backward. nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/ltt…

Score changes varied significantly during the pandemic for students of different races and ethnicities, in different regions, attending different types of schools, etc. See the specifics in the report card: nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/ltt…

Digging deeper, results reveal that the White–Black achievement gap grew in math and the Suburban–City score gap narrowed in reading in 2022. nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/ltt…

During the pandemic, NCES has collected additional data on education challenges, and the findings "paint a sobering picture," says NCES Commissioner Peggy G. Carr. Find detailed information from the @EdNCES School Pulse Panel: ies.ed.gov/schoolsurvey/s…

There will be a deeper and more comprehensive look at student achievement with the release of main NAEP results later this year. We will report on student achievement at grades 4 and 8 for the nation, states, and 26 urban school districts.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the #NAEP 2022 assessments. Our hope is that the data provide us, as a nation, with information to move forward in a positive way to help all students succeed.
