Description
Scores from the standardized tests Oregon students take each year are out, and the 2023 results are dispiriting, to say the least, for anyone who hoped to see a rebound from a pandemic drop.
Education reporter Julia Silverman analyzed the results for The Oregonian/OregonLive and discussed them on this week’s episode of Beat Check with The Oregonian. She describes a growing emergency in schools, where students are quickly losing time to catch up from the pandemic.
She also, though, sees bright spots. Some schools have found ways to improve their scores that could be replicated elsewhere in the state — given time, and funding.
