A third of K-12 students perform behind their grade level, survey finds
The findings demonstrate how grade school students are still grappling with pandemic-era learning disruptions.
A third of kindergarten through 12th grade students in the U.S. are performing behind their grade level.
That’s according to a new survey by the National Center for Education Statistics called the School Pulse Panel.
The research found that 32% of public school students were behind their grade level at the end of the school year in June. By region, the percentage of students performing behind their grade level was highest in the West, with 39%.
