OPED: Rainey: The alarm on K-12 education is blaring

Two recent studies should concern anyone about the direction K-12 education has taken over the past decades. The findings suggest that since the 2010s, we have consistently missed key benchmarks in student achievement.

In a small but telling sample of U.S. students, new results offer a sobering look at how American students compare with their global peers. As the Sept. 8 New York Times reported, “By every measure, American students are being outperformed by students in Singapore and parts of China who had top scores on the Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, taken by 15-year-olds around the world.”
