updates: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the STEM pipeline, narrowing the funnel for future scientists, engineers, and other high-tech workers. High-achieving students, who have received less attention than lower-achieving students, were also set back by remote learning and pandemic uncertainty. The 2022 scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) show a decline in math scores for both low-achieving and high-achieving students. The decline in math scores among top performers was as steep as the decline among low performers. Even students at Catholic schools, who generally weathered the pandemic well, saw a significant drop in eighth-grade math scores. The decline in math scores among eighth graders is a cause for concern as it affects the future supply of skilled scientists and engineers. The pandemic has also affected the psychological development of eighth graders, which may have impacted their motivation, study skills, and ability to excel in math. The decline in math scores is more pronounced in eighth grade compared to fourth grade, possibly due to the difficulty of the concepts being taught and the lack of parental assistance as math becomes more complex. The decline in math scores among high-achieving students and Catholic school students is a worrying trend that extends to the private school universe as a whole. Private schools, selective public schools, and affluent suburban schools have traditionally been important training grounds for future scientists and engineers. The long-term impact of the pandemic on math scores and STEM education will become clearer with the release of the 2024 NAEP test results and future SAT, ACT, and Advanced Placement scores.
