Fresh data from the US Government’s National Assessment of Educational Progress has demonstrated the impact of COVID-19 on schooling, but with some encouraging news for America’s Catholic schools.
As reported by Kevin Clarke for America magazine – with some material from the Associated Press – while nationwide educational attainment dropped, Catholic schools either held steady or declined by less than public (government-run) and charter schools.
In terms of eighth-grade (13-14 years old) reading scores, Catholic schools managed a one-point improvement while public and charter schools lost three points.
