THEY'RE ALL BEHIND TOGETHER
In Washington DC fully 83% of students are not proficient at reading and 81% are not proficient at math.
But don't think I'm picking on DC. Out of possible scores of 500, DC scored 245 compared to the national average of 258 in reading and 260 compared to the national average of 276 in math.
The US is below average in literacy and technological proficiency, and it’s third from the bottom in numeracy for 16- to 65-year-olds. The United States has high levels of education and a large percentage of its workers in adult learning and training programs, and it spends lots of money on all these activities. And yet, it does worse than many countries with few advantages and resources.
