As School Choice Wisconsin took a look at recent data released on student achievement in the nation, we noted that Catholic schools outperformed public schools nationwide in math and reading in grades 4 and 8<\/strong>, the grades with data available for 2022.<\/p>\n

ChoiceWords focuses on Catholic schools here because it\u2019s the only type of private school that gets a standalone data breakout from the NCES, the National Center for Education Statistics, the U.S. Department of Education entity that produces the Nation\u2019s Report Card. Think tanks, journalists, educators and others use the Report Card data to gauge progress in the nation\u2019s schools.<\/p>\n

More than 200 Catholic schools and systems participate in Wisconsin\u2019s four choice programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The gap in performance between the Catholic and public schools in not new in the Report Cards; it\u2019s apparent all the way back to 1990. It\u2019s gratifying to see the Catholic schools maintain their edge through the years, including through the pandemic.<\/p>\n

See the charts below for the Report Card data for 2022.<\/p>\n

Catholic schools deserve accolades<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The grim overall results in the Nation\u2019s Report Card, released in September and October, were met with negative reaction<\/a> from many quarters around the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cA majority of states saw scores decline for fourth- and eighth-graders in mathematics and reading between 2019 and 2022,\u201d said the NCES\u2019s press release<\/a>. \u201cThe national average score declines in mathematics for fourth- and eighth-graders were the largest ever recorded in that subject.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results show the profound toll on student learning during the pandemic, as the size and scope of the declines are the largest ever in mathematics,\u201d said NCES Commissioner Peggy G. Carr in the release.<\/p>\n

Catholic schools deserve recognition, and we provide it here: Congratulations to the nation\u2019s Catholic schools for putting in hard work and getting results<\/em>.<\/p>\n
