The 2015 average scores for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)’s Mathematics assessments are significantly lower than the 2013 scores in grades 4 and 8. The 2015 Reading assessments average scores in grade 8 are also lower than those from 2013 while the grade 4 reading scores are not different in both years. These scores indicate that spending too much time on testing in schools did not improve student achievement.
