U.S. students' math scores plunge in global education assessment

Ivana Saric

Data: OECD; Note: Reading scores not available in 2006 due to test booklet printing errors; Chart: Thomas Oide/Axios

U.S. students lag behind their peers in many industrialized countries when it comes to math, according to the results of a global exam released Tuesday.

Why it matters: U.S. students saw a 13-point drop in their 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) math results when compared to the 2018 exam.

The 2022 math score was not only lower than it was in 2012 but it was "among the lowest ever measured by PISA in mathematics" for the U.S., per the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country note.

Look, we all want the best for children, but the important question is whether the black/white gap narrowed. So long as the gap persists, our schools are failing, regardless of what the overall scores are.

Switzerland and Japan also have homogenous societies. And we've recently aggressively eliminated rigor in math requirements due to having so many browns. We'll see when it doesn't ever bounce back. The demographic problem is going to be huge for us going forward.

I looked up my old high school. It's now 46.6% white and 99.9% low income. Math proficiency is 4% (that's 10 kids across the whole school, 2-3 in the senior class). Reading is better at 28% and science at 11%. 25% attempted at least one AP test. 0% passed. Average ACT score is 18.3 (I suppose only the smart kids take it). Even more shocking is that it's not the worst in the state: only 249/362.

It's pretty much a black/white town and always has been. Not a lot of other groups. Listed as 4.6% Hispanic and .4% Asian (one kid). It has never been an academic powerhouse. I remain the only National Merit finalist ever to come out of the school. Someone else did get a commendation letter once. However, it seems like in my day (all white then) everybody could at least read and do basic arithmetic. Enrollment has shrunk as all the parents who can afford it are driving their kids 30 miles to private/religious schools. Locals are trying to get a Catholic school going.

The high school was destroyed by a tornado. Insurance coverage was not enough to rebuild it, so they proposed a bond issue which the voters rejected. Fortunately, they got a FEMA loan which was forgiven. As it was they spent four years having classes in trailers.
