Note: Average math scores of students in grades three through eight. By the spring of 2022, according to our calculations, the average student was half a year behind in math and a third of a year behind in reading. Math, reading and history scores from the past three years show that students learned far less during the pandemic than was typical in previous years. To hear parents tell it, the pandemic’s effects on education were transitory.Īre they right to be so sanguine? The latest evidence suggests otherwise. But by the fall of 2022, a Pew survey showed that only a quarter of parents thought their children were still behind another study revealed that more than 90 percent thought their child had already or would soon catch up. In 20, a majority of parents in the United States reported that the pandemic was hurting their children’s education. Parents have become a lot more optimistic about how well their children are doing in school. Reardon is a professor of education and sociology at Stanford.
