While Governor Gavin Newsom often touts California's successes compared to conservative states, he overlooks critical issues like education quality. Recent data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress highlights troubling declines in California's student test scores in reading and math, indicating a failure to bounce back from pandemic-related disruptions. Particularly alarming is the widening achievement gap; higher-performing students' scores have diminished slightly, while lower-performing students have seen far greater declines. Overall, California's education system remains behind not only the national average but also behind states deemed less progressive.
California's education system is significantly underperforming, failing to improve national test scores in reading and math; the pandemic exacerbated existing disparities among students.
The latest National Assessment of Educational Progress reveals California's students lag behind both national averages and states perceived as culturally backward, marking a concerning trend.
