National Center for Education Statistics : 40% of students were behind grade level in one or more subjects.

Data shows students are farther behind than before state and local governments closed schools during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Data follows with broader academic achievement data that show the effects of the pandemic closures were not equitable to minority students, who suffered more significant declines in academic achievement.
