The below is a ranking of states by average change in math scores on the 4th grade NAEP between 2022 and 2024 (using scale scores).
I will do 8th grade tomorrow :)
Of course the problem is, for many reasons, states with high income families have a much easier time getting good results. So I looked into it, and asked - once we control and allow for how rich a state is - how well do they REALLY do ?
What I found might surprise you ....
The STARS: Mississippi, Wyoming, Utah, Tennessee , Massachusetts
The STRUGGLERS: New York, Maryland, California, New Mexico
Are your children in school in any of these states ? Which results surprised you ?
