Recent reports indicate that students across the nation are still grappling with significant challenges in reading, which have persisted since the pandemic. While there has been some progress in narrowing math achievement gaps, reading scores remain stagnant. This situation has prompted the White House to address concerns regarding the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and advocate for improved results. Additionally, NWEA has introduced a new national dashboard aimed at tracking student achievements and growth, with hopes to address these ongoing disparities in educational performance.
