the department said.\n<\/p>\n<p>The extent of lost learning brought on by pandemic-related school closures has been well-documented, even as<br \/>\n<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/restoring-america\/equality-not-elitism\/student-test-scores-show-signs-of-recovery-with-end-of-forced-virtual-learning\">signs of recovery<\/a><br \/>\n have begun to appear.\n<\/p>\n<p>For instance, 46% of California high school seniors are on track to meet state university admissions requirements this year, a substantial drop from 59% in 2019. The percentage of students of all ages reading above grade level also declined by 5% in the past two years.\n<\/p>\n<p>In Texas, the state Education Agency&#8217;s spring 2021 assessment found that only 36% of fourth graders in the state met their grade&#8217;s reading standards.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\n<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><br \/>\n<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>Chronic absenteeism, referring to students who miss at least 15 days of school in a year, has also spiked significantly since the onset of the pandemic, with<br \/>\n<a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/leadership\/chronic-absenteeism-spiked-during-covid-heres-what-schools-can-do-about-it\/2022\/04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some estimates<\/a><br \/>\n indicating as much as 20% of students have been chronically absent from school in the past two years.
