In April 2009, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the “primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education in the U.S. and other nations,” found little improvement in long term assessments of math and reading, despite stating “improvements seen in reading and mathematics.”

Reading Assessments:
Nine-year-old students scored an average of 215 in reading in 1980 and an average of 220 in 2008, an increase of 5 points through nearly three decades.
Thirteen-year-old students scored an average of 258 in reading in 1980 and an average of 260 in 2008, an increase of 2 points through nearly three decades.
Seventeen-year-old students scored an average of 285 in reading in 1980 and an average of 286 in 2008, an increase of 1 point through nearly three decades.
Math Assessments:
Nine-year-old students scored an average of 219 in math in 1982 and an average of 243 in 2008, an increase of 24 points through nearly three decades.
Thirteen-year-old students scored an average of 269 in math in 1982 and an average of 281 in 2008, an increase of 12 points through nearly three decades.
Seventeen-year-old students scored an average of 298 in math in 1982 and an average of 306 in 2008, an increase of 8 points through nearly three decades.
Although the NCES found nominal improvements in reading and slightly greater improvements in math, compared to the rest of the world the U.S. continues to fall behind the competition. Countries from Europe and Asia are surpassing the United States in math, reading and science. As The Washington Post reported, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) 2009 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) found the U.S. was “average in reading, average in science and slightly below average in math.”
