School districts that stayed remote longer caused students’ academic performance to suffer at least 20% more than districts that returned to in-person learning, according to a report by the Education Recovery Scorecard.
On average, school districts who were remote through the 2020-2021 school year experienced a 41% larger achievement loss in math, according to a report by the Education Recovery Scorecard. In reading, remote districts saw a 20% greater achievement loss than schools in the same state that were doing in-person learning.
“The COVID pandemic affected virtually every aspect of children’s lives, including their families, their social lives, their mental health and their schooling experiences and learning opportunities,” the report read. “A comprehensive accounting of the toll of the pandemic on students would measure not just their math and reading skills, but also their mental, physical, and socio-emotional well-being.”
Every state has seen a decline in its math scores since 2019. Approximately 43 states saw a decline in their fourth-grade math scores and all 50 states, plus Washington D.C., saw a drop in eighth-grade math scores.
Fourth-grade math scores fell by an average of five points while eighth-grade math scores dropped by eight points. Only 36% of fourth graders and 26% of eight graders are currently proficient in math.
A September National Assessment of Educational Progress report showed that reading scores fell back to where they were in 1990 and math scores saw their first ever decline.
For many districts, including the Detroit School District and Seattle Public Schools, making up learning losses will costmillions of dollars.
The Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford University used data from all 50 states, examining students’ math and reading scores from third to eighth grade to create the report.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Leftwing billionaire George Soros bankrolls everything evil – most recently the 75 pro-criminal “Soros district attorneys” who have transformed America’s most dynamic cities into degraded, crime-infested hellscapes of skyrocketing violent crime. Soros also funds drug legalization, euthanasia, open borders, globalism, Black Lives Matter, “defunding the police,” devaluing America's currency and destroying her sovereignty. But why?
Whistleblower magazine reveals and explores the stunning truth: Soros, an atheist, literally says he’s “some kind of god,” obsessed with re-creating the world in his image. Here are a few actual quotes from Soros: “If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood…” “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” “You know, in my personal capacity I’m not actually a selfless philanthropic person. I’ve very much self-centered.” “I am kind of a nut who wants to have an impact.” “Next to my fantasies about being God, I also have very strong fantasies of being mad. … I have a lot of madness in my family. So far I have escaped it.”
Except he hasn’t “escaped it.” Not only is Soros totally mad, but he’s imposing his insanity on America. See Soros and the leftwing world he has created and funded as never before in “THE BILLIONAIRE WHO THINKS HE’S ‘GOD’: Why George Soros is obsessed with destroying America.”
