Standardized test score results show academic achievement declines for the sixth year in a row, highlighting the impact of COVID-19-related school closures on student learning. The nonprofit behind the ACT said this week that scores fell again in all testing subjects in the 2022-23 school year. This comes as graduation rates in school districts have increased despite test scores showing academic declines, as Chalkboard News previously reported. Students nationwide tested during the 2022-23 school year had an average composite score on the ACT of 19.5, which was down from 19.8 the previous year and 20.7 in the 2018-19 school year.
