About the Survey Data
Our data draws from the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) Growth assessment: an innovative evaluation used to measure achievement and growth in K-12 math, reading, language usage, and science.
NWEA researchers used MAP Growth assessment results of nearly 4.5 million U.S. students in grades 3-7 when the pandemic began to observe the performance differences between winter 2019 and fall 2020 (subsequently referred to as “during the COVID-19 pandemic”) to understand the impact of the pandemic on learning progress.
NWEA is a research-based, not-for-profit organization with 40 years of experience developing preK-12 assessments trusted by educators in more than 9,500 schools, districts, and education agencies in 145 countries.
