"Wisconsin’s scores fell by every measure since the last time children took the test, in 2019, just as scores fell for every other state," an Oct. 26 article from the institute noted."Wisconsin’s scores fell more than some states and less than others, and generally they remained a few points above national averages, but they fell — they followed the trend, rather than bucking it.

Those scores for fourth and eighth graders, based on testing between January and March, carried special interest, since for millions the pandemic meant months of school closures and remote learning., math scores for eighth graders fell in nearly every state, with 26% of students receiving a rating of at or above"proficient."
