'Nation's Report Card' Shows Troubling Results

  |   Comments   |   Bookmark and Share
High school seniors this year have improved scores on a national education assessment from last year, but the scores still trail behind the levels achieved in 1992 for reading. The assessment, dubbed the Nation's Report Card, tested 52,000 students in reading and 49,000 students in math.  Scores were released Thursday and show 38 percent of high school seniors tested at or above the "proficient" level, and 74 percent tested at or above the "basic" level.
