Standardized Test Scores Show Mixed Bag of Results Among Missouri’s K-12 Public School Students

(MISSOURINET) –  Missouri’s K-12 public school students scored slightly higher in math and science but slightly lower in English and social studies in last year’s standardized tests.

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education says about 43-percent of students are success-ready in English, 40-percent in Social Studies, 39-percent in Math and 38-percent in science.

State Education Commissioner Margie Vandeven (van-DEE-ven) says preliminary test score results show students have improved from the previous year but scores have not yet rebounded to levels prior the pandemic…

Overall, students who get free or reduced price lunch slightly improved compared to the previous year and so did English language learners.
