After two years of remote learning and hybrid classes, New Jersey's K-12 students continue to struggle and are in danger of falling even farther behind.
Even with in-person learning since the start of the current school year, the struggles are evidence in every grade level.
The non-profit education advocacy group JerseyCAN recently completed the first comprehensive look at so-called 'learning loss,' and the results should alarm every parent.
On average, New Jersey students lost 30% of expected learning in English Language Arts (ELA) and 36% of expected learning in Math, but the loss was greater for Black students, who lost on average 43% in ELA and 50% in Math.
Similarly, Latinx students lost 37% of expected learning in ELA and 40% in Math.
