1 Results from the 2019 Mathematicsand Reading Assessments NATIONAL AVERAGE SCORES AND PERCENTILESS cores lower compared to 2017 except for grade 4 mathematicsIn 2019, students at grades 4 and 8 in both mathematics and reading had higher scores overall and at all five selected percentiles, except for the 10th percentile in reading, compared to the first assessments in the early 1990s. Compared to a decade ago, scores at both grades in both subjects were lower or not significantly different for lower-performing students at the 10th and 25th percentiles.* Significantly different (p < .05) from 2019.
