(Central Square)-Wisconsin’s fourth grade-grade tests showed a continuous reduction in ability, while eighth grade mathematical results were the third highest in the country in the results of the national educational progress assessment published Wednesday.
The results are released every two years and are intended to show the students’ ability while preparing for college.
The results show that only 31% of the fourth -graders of the state were in reading compared to 33% in 2022 and 36% in 2019. The black fourth grade students dealt with the worst in the country with 8% experienced in Reading and 5% in mathematics.
“The Wisconsin and Milwaukee reading results are the largest for decades,” says CJ Szafir, CEO of the Government Reform Institute. “Instead of solving this literacy crisis, chief [Jill] The standards of Wisconsin children were at the heart and dragged their feet on an act of action 20. It is enough enough. DPI must return to high standards and retrain teachers up to the deadline of the law in 2025, or 2027 will look the same. “
Only Massachusetts and students from the Ministry of Defense did better than Wisconsin’s eighth-graders in mathematics, while fourth-graders were on the side of the mathematics average, the Wisconsin Jill Ministry said.
“While the NAEP results emphasize some successes, today’s edition serves as an emergency call to wake up for our country-one, which requires us to act with greater urgency to support our children, teachers and schools,” the basis said. “We have the power to make a lasting change, but it begins with a major commitment to properly investing in our public schools, instead of continuing the cycle of their underfund, as our legislative power has chosen to do too long.”
Some have pointed out the results and believe that this shows that the Wisconsin’s corrected standards of the state exam have been given inaccurate information about how prepared the Wisconsin students are for the college.
State Senator John Ja gagn, R-Watertown, and reporter Bob Vitke, R-Caledonia, Has recently introduced legislation This would reset the K-12 School Standards Standards of 2019-20, make the standards of 3-8 grades, the same as those set by NAEP and will make the standards of the high school testing the same as those of 2021-22.
“The last card of the latest nation report, published today, confirms that only 3 out of 10 students are ready for college or career, and the difference in achievements is expanding,” says Brittany Kinsser, a candidate for DPI head. “The results of the Wisconsin state exam do not reveal the full amount of the problem. Transparency and emergency are crucial to dealing with this crisis. That’s why I’m running – to restore high academic standards with a tireless focus on reading, writing and mathematics. “
