Missouri students’ scores on statewide standardized tests are still lower than they were before the pandemic.
The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released preliminary statewide results for the 2022-2023 grade-level and end-of-course assessments at Tuesday’s state board of education meeting. District-level data is typically released later in the year.
Shawn Bates, the department’s coordinator of standards, curriculum and assessment, said Missouri’s scores are in line with what other schools are seeing across the country.
