Elementary students are regaining the ground they lost during the pandemic at a faster pace than older students, recent research shows, but K-12 students are still years away from a full recovery.
“It was the group we were most worried about, and rightly so because our research and that of our colleagues have shown that that was the group that was hardest hit,” Lewis said. “I think this is probably due, in part, to that message getting out, and schools and districts taking a triage approach, focusing energy on our youngest learners.”
California K-12 schools lost 271,000 students since Covid struck in spring 2020. Enrollment as of Census Day, always the first Wednesday of October, was 5.89 million students for the 2021-22 school year; five years ago, it was 6.23 million.federal American Rescue Plan fundsLewis found that the range of abilities among students in the same grade had widened in the 2021-22 school year.
“At that point, it wasn’t even thinking about recovery, it was about stopping the bleeding,” Lewis said. “The good news is at the beginning of this school year, it does appear the bleeding has stopped, but it’s going to be a long road before being fully healed.”
