Fifteen-year-old students in the U.S. are lagging behind their
international counterparts in math and science, according to results of
the 2012 Program for International Student Assessment. “Our scores are
stagnant. We’re not seeing any improvement for our
15-year-olds,” said Jack Buckley, commissioner at the National Center
for Education Statistics. American students scored average in reading
and science and below average in math. While U.S. teenagers were average in reading and science, their scores
were below average in math, compared to 64 other countries and economies
that participated in PISA.
