A landmark study by Stanford, Harvard, and Dartmouth researchers released on May 13, 2026, reveals that U.S. student test scores have been declining since 2013 β seven years before the pandemic arrived. Data from 70 million students across 38 states rewrites the story of American education.

An edtech CEO breaks down what both events mean for education.
