Reading Proficiency Remains Out of Reach for Most Students
Data from the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) revealed that only 36% of fourth-grade students scored at or above “proficiency” levels in reading, compared to 40% in 2019. This indicates that over 60% of students aged 9-10 are not reading proficiently.
“Connecticut school districts with the lowest average test scores include New Britain, Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven and New London — all with average scores at least three grades below the national average, according to the data.” – Natasha Sokoloff, CT Insider
According to the 2026 Education Scorecard, in reading, the average Connecticut student “is performing half a grade equivalent below 2019 levels. A number of districts like New Haven, Danbury, Stamford, Stratford, Bridgeport, and Hamden continue to slip and remain more than a full grade equivalent behind their 2019 levels.”
