WFPL reported yesterday on the new National Assessment of Educational Progress eighth grade science results for 2011. Among other things, the on line article includes a map similar to this one which shows Kentucky’s performance on NAEP Grade 8 Science did not improve between 2009 and 2011 testing while a number of states did increase their scores.

As a consequence, the national average for the “all students” score got a point closer to Kentucky between 2009 and 2011.
