Pandemic Achievement Gap
Lifetime Earnings
Pandemic Learning Loss Could Cost U.S. Students $2 Trillion in Lifetime Earnings.
Math and Reading
Math and Reading achievement levels during COVID-19 continue to lag behind historical averages, with larger declines in math.
Middle School
In grades 6 through 8, it would take an additional 14 to 19 weeks of instruction to recover the losses in reading and math, respectively.
Disparities
Evidence is showing that students in high-poverty schools, students of color and white students who were scoring below grade level before the pandemic have lost the most ground academically.
BEST has been an answer to prayer for us; we are thrilled with their expectations for our child and how they incorporate life skills into their curriculum. Our child is happy to go to school every day!
My daughter has loved working with the staff at BEST Skills for the last 2 years. The academic support and advice made a big difference and I’m so proud that she has been accepted into all of the top colleges that she applied to!
