In 2022 the average reading score for nine-year-old students declined 5 points from 2020, the largest drop since 1990. Average math scores for 2022 fell for the first time in the program's history, dropping 7 points from 2020. The NCES's nationally representative report specifically examined student achievement during COVID-19 lockdowns. The center is expected to release a broader report later this year as part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress, also known as the Nation's Report Card.
These results add to the mounting evidence of the pandemic's alarming impact on American education. In May, a Harvard study of virtual learning during the pandemic found that K-12 students lost 50 percent of their typical math curriculum learning in the 2020-2021 school year. The Associated Press reported last month that after two years of virtual and hybrid learning, many students are significantly less prepared for college.
