Reading and Math Scores Plummet in the US, Remember Who to Thank

School children lost years due to the pandemic, societal problems, and politics if their latest scores are any indication. The Education Department’s test scores post-pandemic are abysmal. The facts are in and they’re horrific. Students in fourth grade reveal the worst drop in math and reading scores in decades.

The results are troubling

• Average scores in reading for 2022 declined to 215 out of a possible 500, falling five points from 2020
• Math scores fell seven points, to 234
• The results mark the largest drop in reading scores since 1990 and the first decline in math scores since the test began in 1971
• Regionally, scores took the biggest dive in the Midwest and Northeast, where cumulative reading and math scores fell 16 and 15 points, respectively
• Scores were strongest across the West, where they fell five points
• In the South, they fell by 13 points

DON’T FORGET DR. FAUCI

• Dr. Fauci lied to keep the lockdowns going
• The lockdowns, quarantines, and other school restrictions were far worse for children than COVID ever would have been
• Teacher absences were serious problems as well as the societal problems in schools
• There was plenty of money for schools, but it was frittered away
