State test scores from the past two years show the pandemic put children behind on key learning benchmarks leaving behind a learning gap that districts are now working to close.
One of the Bay Area’s largest districts, Mt. Diablo Unified, saw low test scores in reading and math compared to pre-pandemic data. The results show 55% of students did not meet the standards for English language arts and 65% did not meet the standards for math. MDUSD Superintendent Adam Clark acknowledged that the district needs to do better.
The data also showed underserved communities were hit hardest, with students of color testing lower, along with homeless and foster youth. "Let’s say you were in third grade and you missed most of third grade… We’re not going back and re-teaching third grade," Clark said. "The research has shown that we now start at fourth grade where the student is now and we accelerate that learning."
"We are not trying to overwhelm our educators or our students with new initiatives," he said. ""We’re moving forward instead of going backward and that’s really what we have to do." According to Ed Source, the state results show consistent declines in all categories from 2019, but some variations among districts and subgroups:· Reading scores in Los Angeles Unified only dipped slightly from 2019 to 2022.
