School-by-school data: State third-grade reading scores decline
Mar. 7—Ohio third-graders took the regular state third grade reading exam in fall 2020, just as they have done in the fall of previous years.
Students had to take the test in-person, which meant asking fully remote students to come into school buildings. Participation levels were somewhat lower, and not surprisingly, the percentage of students who scored proficient or better was about 9% lower statewide than in the pre-pandemic year before.
Here's how our local districts did on the exam.
