"Students lagged in nearly every grade and category on state tests taken in the spring of 2021, according to scores released Tuesday by the Michigan Department of Education.
Those scores, and separate data also released from benchmark assessments of students across the state from the previous school year, illustrate just how much learning was interrupted through the pandemic.
...“These new data demonstrate what national research predicted: Michigan’s students have experienced significant unfinished learning during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Amber Arellano, executive director of the Education Trust-Midwest, a nonprofit education advocacy group.
...While the results show more than a quarter of students falling behind grade level, Katharine Strunk, a researcher with EPIC and a professor at MSU's College of Education, said the results don't mean students learned nothing at all last year.
"Students learned through the year in Michigan," she said. "And I think that that's a really critical piece of it. ... But they did not grow in their learning as much as might have been predicted in a typical year."
