Newsom boasts ‘significant gains’ in CA K-12 test scores, signs literacy bill
California K-12 students are faring slightly better than the year before, but more than half are still not meeting state standards, according to recently released annual standardized test results.
While making up some ground, students are still lagging behind pre-pandemic achievement levels. Gov. Gavin Newsom touted the “significant gains” in student test scores at a news conference Thursday morning as he signed new legislation which he says will give teachers critical tools to effectively teach California’s students to read.
