PHOENIX — The results are in and they show that Arizona test scores are a few points below the national average.
In math, 4th grade students tested three points under the national average; 8th graders were two points under.In a state-by-state comparison, Arizona is solidly in the middle of the pack. Fourth grade students achieved 232 out of a total of 500 possible points in math. Changes due to COVID-19 most likely played a role in this year’s assessment scores. While data is not available for the COVID-19 years, 2020 and 2021, a comparison of 2019 to the most recent scores shows a drop in performance in nearly every tested jurisdiction.In Arizona, math scores fell six points for 4th graders and nine points for 8th graders. Students fared better in reading with 4th graders only losing one point and no changes recorded for 8th graders.
She added that some students lacked those literacy and problem-solving skills,"Students were also struggling with social skills and behavioral issues, which then also affected their academics," said Barrera.In an effort to continue helping students stay on track and bounce back from COVID, the district says it will be adding more STEM to all of its schools. Just like classes they’d have for physical eduation, art and music, the schools will have a STEM special class as well.
