Some Bright Spots in Students’ Learning Recovery, But Still a Long Way to Go
There are “small signs” of improvement in students’ academic recovery, but still a long way to go to return to pre-pandemic levels of achievement, concludes a report from Curriculum Associates, a company that provides curriculum and classroom-based testing programs.
Based on an analysis of more than 10 million students in reading and 12 million in math who took the organization’s i-Ready Diagonistic, the proportions of students now performing at grade level are very similar from spring 2023 to spring 2024 across grades and subjects.
Students’ fall 2023-to-spring 2024 academic growth rates are similar to pre-pandemic levels (fall 2018 to spring 2019), too.
