The Long-Term Trend Assessment (LTT) has measured student learning since the 1970s. How are 9- and 13-year-olds doing in math and reading? Are today’s students reading for fun more or less than before? Are more students taking algebra than earlier generations?

Are more 13-year-olds reading for fun every day? And how are these students doing in reading? Take a look: nationsreportcard.gov/ltt/2025/readi…

How have 13-year-olds’ math and reading scores changed since the 1970s? ⬆️ In math, average achievement is up. ↔️ In reading, average scores are not statistically different. #LTT2025

How often are students being asked to write LONG answers on assignments? According to students, fewer 8th graders are assigned to write long answers regularly. This is especially true for lower-performing students.

Although reading and math scores are up for 9-year-olds on the NAEP Long-Term Trend assessment, scores haven’t improved for 13-year-olds. Our board member, reading expert @kymyona_burk , discusses ways to help teens catch up: edweek.org/leadership/opi…

Part of the #NAEP program, Long-Term Trend has assessed students in the same way since the 1970s. The LTT 2025 results are here. Take a look at how 9- and 13-year-olds are doing in math and reading: nationsreportcard.gov/ltt/2025/ #LTT2025

Our board member @juliarafalbaer shares her thoughts on #LTT2025 in @the74: the74million.org/article/new-na…

“The share of 9- and 13-year-olds who say they talk about the things they’re learning in school with their family nearly every day is low. Only one in five 13-yr-olds report having these regular conversations.”
