Summary
U.S. students are scoring above average in science and reading, and math is finally on par with global peers—but the real story? Our performance hasn’t improved; other countries have fallen harder. American kids are actually learning less than before, with reading and math hovering near historic lows. Experts blame a lingering pandemic “long tail,” while OECD flagged U.S. data as incomplete, possibly skewing results. While global scores plummeted, U.S. scores stayed flat—thanks in part to strong teacher relationships and peer tutoring, even as screens and absenteeism hurt learning everywhere.
