government has prioritized science, technology, and math education.
No surprise, in 2022, only about one in five eighth graders scored proficient in civics, according to federal data.
The data comes from NWEA, a K-12 testing and research organization, and its Spring 2025 MAP Growth Assessment, a suite of tests taken by millions of students in thousands of schools across the U.S.
In reading, students across most grade levels are still performing at or even below pandemic lows.
NWEA said this stagnation is consistent regardless of race, ethnicity, or school poverty level.
In math, the news was only slightly better.
Achievement either held steady or, in some grades, improved slightly, though nearly all grades remain behind the performance levels of kids in those same grades back in 2019.
