Daily News | First N.J. standardized test scores since the pandemic show students still struggling
, called the results “sobering” and said, put simply, the latest results show that “schools matter.” During the pandemic, schools were closed and millions of students attended classes virtually. Remote learning was delayed in some districts until students received Chromebooks.
The percentage of students achieving proficiency or above in the three subjects declined in nearly all grade levels in 2022 compared to 2019, the last year before the pandemic: from 57.6% to 48.9% in English language arts, 44% to 35.4% in math, and 25.4% to 23.2% in science. Unlike most states, New Jersey didn’t administer the test for two years, although Pennsylvania gave its tests in 2021 to a greatly reduced student population.
Glazer said he was especially troubled by the 2022 third grade language arts results, which showed that 20.1% of students were not yet meeting expectations and 15.5% were partially meeting expectations. Those gaps will be the hardest to close in coming years because reading is often not taught after third grade, he said.
“Sometimes when we look at numbers, we forget that human beings are being counted,” Ricca said. “None of these assessments address the reality [that] what we are seeing here is the outcome of the human struggle.” During the nearly 3 1/2 hour state board meeting, board member Andrew J. Mulvihill peppered acting State Education Commissioner Angelica Allen-McMillan with questions about how the state plans to help schools cope with the learning losses.
The state Department of Education sent districts their district and school-by-school results in the summer to help plan for the school year. Districts are required to provide their scores to parents. Newark, the largest school system in the state, recently released scores to parents and the public for its 64 schools.
