COVID pandemic, lockdowns set student learning back decades, new data shows
https://abc7news.com/covid-pandemic-learning-loss-back-to-school-students/12188096/
On Thursday, new numbers revealed that since the start of the pandemic, the country has received a failing grade.
"It's not uncommon to see them maybe two grades below level, which is tragic in and of itself, but we're seeing kids that are three and four grades below level," said Jim Wambach of the Children Rising.
From the start of 2020 through the winter of 2022, the COVID pandemic and ensuing lockdowns resulted in a learning loss that erased decades of progress.
In the areas of math and reading, statistics show 9-year-old students being knocked to levels not seen since the 1990s.
The trend has caused alarm among both educators and parents.
"It was easy for the people who weren't with them each day to say, 'oh the kids they're doing fine, they're resilient, they'll get through this.' And we, the parents, who were at home were saying the kids are actually not alright," said parent Viviane Safrin.
Test scores show how COVID set kids back across the U.S.

The COVID-19 pandemic spared no state or region as it caused historic learning setbacks for Americaās children, erasing decades of academic progress and widening racial disparities, according to results of a national test that provide the sharpest look yet at the scale of the crisis.
Across the country, math scores saw their largest decreases ever. Reading scores dropped to 1992 levels. Nearly four in 10 eighth graders failed to grasp basic math concepts. Not a single state saw a notable improvement in their average test scores, with some simply treading water at best.
āIt is a serious wakeup call for us all,ā Peggy Carr, commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, a branch of the Education Department, said in an interview. āIn NAEP, when we experience a 1- or 2-point decline, weāre talking about it as a significant impact on a studentās achievement. In math, we experienced an 8-point decline ā historic for this assessment.ā
Researchers usually think of a 10-point gain or drop as equivalent to roughly a year of learning.
