District-by-District Test Scores Echo a Decade of Decline in U.S. Math and Reading
TL;DR Summary
Stanford's Educational Opportunity Project, linked with NAEP, shows third- to eighth-grade math and reading scores have declined over the past decade. The Times provides a district-by-district lookup for changes since 2015, with exclusions for states and districts lacking data (e.g., New York); where 2015 data are missing, baseline scores come from the 2014–2016 average to enable cross-district comparisons.
