In 2022, the average fourth-grade mathematics score decreased by 5 points and was lower than all previous assessment years going back to 2005; the average score was one point higher compared to 2003. The average eighth-grade mathematics score decreased by 8 points compared to 2019 and was lower than all previous assessment years going back to 2003. In 2022, fourth- and eighth-grade mathematics scores declined for most states/jurisdictions as well as for most participating urban districts compared to 2019. Average scores are reported on NAEP mathematics scales at grades 4 and 8 that range from 0 to 500.
Across all states/jurisdictions in 2022, the percentage of fourth-graders performing below NAEP Basic ranged from 8 to 90 percent; the percentage was 26 percent nationally. In the 43 states/jurisdictions with larger proportions of students performing below NAEP Basic compared to 2019, percentage increases ranged from 3 to 16 percentage points; nationally, there was a 6 percentage point increase for public school students. There were no significant changes in the percentage of students performing below NAEP Basic in 10 states/jurisdictions since 2019.
The Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) is intended to focus attention on urban education and measure educational progress within participating districts. Fourth-graders in 26 urban districts participated in the mathematics assessment in 2022. TUDA district results are compared to results of public school students in large cities with a population of 250,000 or more.
In 2022, average mathematics scores declined in 23 of 26 districts compared to 2019, with declines ranging from 4 to 15 points. The average score for large city schools declined 8 points compared to 2019. Among the 23 districts with score declines, 9 scored lower than the average for large city schools; 10 districts had average scores that were not significantly different from the large city average, and 4 scored higher.
Eighteen of the 23 districts with mathematics score declines between 2019 and 2022 had average scores that were within the NAEP Basic range in 2022. Five districts with declines scored below NAEP Basic; among these districts, four of them shifted the average scores from within the NAEP Basic range in 2019 to below NAEP Basic in 2022.
NAEP reports scores at five selected percentiles to show the progress made by lower- (10th and 25th percentiles), middle- (50th percentile), and higher- (75th and 90th percentiles) performing students.
In 2022, fourth-grade mathematics scores declined at all five selected percentiles for the first time since the initial mathematics assessment in 1990. The magnitude of score declines for lower-performing students at the 10th and 25th percentiles (7 and 6 points, respectively) were greater than the declines for higher-performing students at the 75th and 90th percentiles (3 and 2 points, respectively).
Across the states/jurisdictions at grade 4, score declines since 2019 for lower-performing students (10th and 25th percentiles) were more prevalent than score declines for higher-performing students (75th and 90th percentiles) in 2022. Among the 43 states/jurisdictions with score declines, scores decreased for lower-performing students in 30 states/jurisdictions while scores decreased for higher-performing students in 13 states/jurisdictions.
In 2022, twenty-five percent of fourth-graders performed below the NAEP Basic level, which was larger by 5 percentage points than in 2019. This percentage was larger than all previous assessments since 2003. Thirty-six percent of fourth-graders performed at or above NAEP Proficient in 2022, which was smaller by 5 percentage points lower compared to 2019.
In 2022, average fourth-grade mathematics scores decreased for most student groups in comparison to 2019. For example, looking at racial/ethnic groups, scores declined for American Indian/Alaska native, Asian, Black, and Hispanic students, students of Two or More Races, and White students.
The score gaps between White students and their Black and Hispanic peers were larger in 2022 than in 2019. Greater score declines in mathematics from 2019 to 2022 for Black and Hispanic students contributed to a widening of the score gaps between these groups and their White peers. See detailed student score gap results in the mathematics report card.
Mathematics scores declined for male and female fourth-graders. In addition, the gender gap widened in 2022. The 6-point score difference between male and female students in 2022 was larger than the 3-point score gap in 2019. This is largest gap going back to 1990. A greater score decline for female students in 2022 contributed to the widening of the gender gap. In 2022, scores declined for both male and female fourth-graders performing at the 25th and 75th percentiles in comparison to 2019.
Across all states/jurisdictions in 2022, the percentage of eighth-graders performing below NAEP Basic ranged from 18 to 94 percent; the percentage was 40 percent nationally for public school students. In the 48 states/jurisdictions with higher proportions of students performing below NAEP Basic compared to 2019, percentage increases ranged from 5 to 14 percentage points; nationally, there was an 8 percentage point increase for public school students.
The Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) is intended to focus attention on urban education and measure educational progress within participating districts. Eighth-graders in 26 urban districts participated in the mathematics assessment in 2022. TUDA district results are compared to results of public school students in large cities with a population of 250,000 or more.
Similar to widespread score declines across the states/jurisdictions, eighth-grade mathematics scores declined since 2019 in 22 of 26 districts that participated in the 2022 NAEP Trial Urban District Assessment; score declines ranged from 4 to 14 points. The average score for large city schools declined 8 points compared to 2019. Among the districts with score declines, 11 scored lower than the average for large city schools in 2022; seven districts had average scores that were not significantly different from the large city average; and 4 scored higher.
Across all participating districts in 2022, the percentage of eighth-graders performing below NAEP Basic ranged from 36 to 80 percent; 47 percent of students in large city schools performed below the NAEP Basic level. In the 22 districts with larger proportions of students performing below NAEP Basic compared to 2019, percentage increases ranged from 5 to 19 percentage points; the increase for large city schools was 8 percentage points.
In 2022, eighth-grade mathematics scores declined across the performance distribution for the first time since the initial mathematics assessment in 1990. The magnitude of score declines for lower-performing students at the 10th and 25th percentiles (6 and 8 points, respectively) were not significantly different than the declines for higher-performing students at the 75th and 90th percentiles (9 and 8 points, respectively) with one exception; the score decline for students at the 75th percentile was higher than the decline for students at the 10th percentile.
Across the states/jurisdictions at grade 8, score declines since 2019 for higher-performing students (75th and 90th percentiles) were more prevalent than score declines for lower-performing students (10th and 25th percentiles) in 2022. Among the 51 states/jurisdictions with score declines, scores decreased for higher-performing students in 38 states/jurisdictions while scores decreased for lower-performing students in 24 states/jurisdictions.
In 2022, the percentage of eighth-graders performing below the NAEP Basic level was larger by 7 percentage points compared to 2019. The percentage of students performing below NAEP Basic was larger than all previous assessments dating back to 2003. Twenty-six percent of eighth-graders performed at or above the NAEP Proficient level, which was 7 percentage points lower compared to 2019.
Seven percent of eighth-grade students performed at NAEP Advanced in 2022, which was 3 percentage points lower than in 2019. The percentage of eighth-graders performing at NAEP Advanced in 2022 was lower than all previous assessments dating back to 2009.
In 2022, average eighth-grade mathematics scores decreased for most student groups in comparison to 2019. For example, looking at racial/ethnic groups, scores declined for Asian, Black, and Hispanic students, students of Two or More Races, and White students.
Mathematics scores also declined for male and female eighth-graders. While there was no score gap between male and female eighth-graders in 2019, a greater score decline for female students in 2022 resulted in a score gap, with male students scoring higher than their female peers. In 2022, scores declined for both male and female eighth-graders performing at the 25th and 75th percentiles in comparison to 2019.
Over 80 percent of students at each grade had teachers who were quite or extremely confident in teaching their students this school year. However, fewer than half of students at each grade had teachers who were quite or extremely confident in their ability to address learning gaps that may have occurred due to pandemic-related school closures. For each of the four remote instruction tasks, over 80 percent of students at grades 4 and 8 had teachers who reported they probably or definitely can perform them.
The NAEP mathematics assessment measures students' knowledge and skills in five broad content areas of mathematics (Number properties and operations; Measurement; Geometry; Data analysis, statistics, and probability; and Algebra) and their ability to apply their content area knowledge to problem-solving situations. Learn more about the mathematics assessment.
In 2022, average scores decreased in all five content areas at both grades 4 and 8 compared to 2019. Among the states/jurisdictions and participating urban districts with overall average score declines in 2022, there were widespread content area score declines at both grades. For example, at grade 4, scores were lower in all five content areas in 26 of the 42 states/jurisdictions with score declines; at grade 8, scores were lower in all five content areas in 37 of 50 states/jurisdictions with score declines compared to 2019.
