Acting Commissioner Russell Johnston emphasized the urgency of addressing pandemic-related learning loss, stating, "These results are concerning. They are concerning as we continue to combat pandemic-related learning loss." His remarks highlight the ongoing challenges faced by students as testing results show declines in performance across a range of subjects, underscoring the significant impact of the pandemic on education.
The newly released MCAS results indicate that students are drifting further from the scores achieved in 2019, with lower achievements in English language arts and mixed results in science and math. Johnston noted, "While we have been operating with a sense of urgency, these results fortify our responsibility, our deep responsibility, to accelerate our work," stressing the need for immediate action to reverse these troubling trends.
