Marginalized students remain the furthest from recovery.  \nThis brief continues ongoing research by NWEA® examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on student achievement and progress toward academic recovery. To date, our research shows that the harmful effects of the pandemic on student achievement steadily accumulated over the course of the 2020–21 school year (Lewis, Kuhfeld, Ruzek, & McEachin, 2021) . Sluggish achievement gains during that year resulted in a widening distance between test scores relative to prepandemic trends, reaching a low point in spring 2021 when the largest gaps between test scores during the pandemic relative to historical trends were observed. In the 2021–22 school year, achievement gains generally returned to mirror or slightly exceed prepandemic trends, and because of this rebounding, the gap between midpandemic achievement relative to a typical year started to narrow, albeit modestly (Kuhfeld & Lewis, 2022) .1 Atthe start of the 2022–23 school year, we observed further modest improvement, partly attributed to reduced summer learning loss in 2022 compared to previous summers (Lewis & Kuhfeld, 2022) .  \nHere, we examine whether additional progress toward pandemic recovery occurred during the 2022–23 school year. To do this, we examine test scores from approximately 6.7 million students currently in grades 3–8 in approximately 20,000 public schools who have taken MAP® Growth™ reading and math assessments since the onset of the pandemic . Specifically, our “COVID sample” consists of six separate cohorts of students we followed longitudinally across the last three school years (for instance, current fifth-graders are part of the grade 3–5 cohort and were followed across third grade in 2020–21, fourth grade in 2021–22, and fifth grade in 2022–23) .2 We compared the COVID sample to a roughly comparable group of 11 million students who tested in grades 3–8 in the pre-COVID school years of 2016–17 through 2018–19.3  \nAchievement gains during the 2022–23 school year fell short of prepandemic trends  \nWe first examined student growth during 2022–23 relative to prepandemic trends. To do this, we calculated the change in test scores between fall 2022 and spring 2023 in each grade/subject compared to “typical”(average) growth rates in the pre-COVID sample. Figure 1 depicts 2022–23 gains as a percentage of pre-COVID trends separately for reading (blue bars) and math (magenta bars) . For ease of interpretation, we centered our percentage gains relative to 100% so that positive values indicate gains that are above pre-COVID averages and negative values indicate gains that are below pre-COVID averages. Gains exceeding prepandemic trends (i. e. , values above 0 in the graph) are necessary to reduce achievement gaps between the COVID and pre-COVID samples; conversely, when gains lag prepandemic trends (i. e. , values below 0 in the graph), the achievement gaps widen.  \n1 We define rebounding as patterns of achievement gains that mirror or exceed prepandemic trends .“Rebounding” is not interchangeable with “recovery”; rather, the former describes progress toward the latter. We use the term achievement gap to indicate the difference between the COVID and pre-COVID samples in a grade level (reported here as standardized differences in average test scores) .
