  • Math performance declined in all grades tested (3 to 8). The TEA labeled the math declines in all grades as “significant.”


    “Pandemic-Induced Disruptions” in Math
    “Pandemic-induced disruptions to learning exacerbated students’ difficulties in mastering fundamental math concepts,” Education Commissioner Mike Morath said, adding:

    “As a result, we must keep our foot on the gas to intensify efforts in providing targeted interventions and research-based education strategies to ensure that students obtain necessary foundational skills and concepts and achieve the desired academic outcomes not only in math but across all subject areas.”


  • Reading-Language Arts performance declined in grades 3, 5 and 8 — and increased in grades 4 and 6.

  • Science performance declined in both grades (5 and 8) grades tested.

  • Social Studies showed no change in the only grade (8) tested.
