US Students Still Behind Much of the World in Math and Reading: Global Assessment
Student performance declined globally, reaching the lowest average ever recorded in international assessment history.
A recent global assessment shows a decline in reading scores for American high school students over the past three years. Math and science performance also lags behind students in several other developed countries. The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) tested 15-year-olds, and initial findings indicate that students from countries like Singapore, Japan, and South Korea continue to outperform their American peers.
