As has been widely reported, students in Ohio and across the nation suffered major setbacks during the pandemic. Between 2019 and 2022, Ohio students lost on average the equivalent of roughly one-half grade-level of learning. The learning losses were even more severe in urban communities, thus widening the state’s already-massive achievement gaps between less advantaged students and their peers.
Another round of state assessment data is set for release in mid-September. What will the latest data tell us about student progress over the past school year? Have students caught up to pre-pandemic levels? Or is there still much work ahead to help students recover?
Please join Ohio Excels and the Thomas B. Fordham Institute for an in-person event on September 19th in Columbus. Dr. Vlad Kogan of Ohio State University will present findings from his new analyses of 2022–23 state assessment results. A panel discussion will follow that touches on implications for policy and practice.
