Rise and Fall of Texas STEM Education: Evidence from the Nation's Report Card
Marder, Michael; Villanueva, Chandra Kring
Center for Public Policy Priorities
Math scores of Texas 8th graders rose to lead the nation in 2011, but they have been dropping ever since. This report examines plausible explanations for this rise and fall, ranging from the family income of students to funding cuts by the Texas Legislature. [This document was prepared by the Center for Public Policy Priorities for the Texas Education Grantmakers Advocacy Consortium.]
