It's a not-so rosy report card for the nation's schoolchildren.
Math scores slipped for fourth and eighth
graders over the last two years, and reading grades were not much
better, flat for fourth graders and lower for eighth graders, according

The results of the test, officially known as the National Assessment of Educational Progress or NAEP, were released Wednesday.
The report suggests students have a ways to go to demonstrate a solid grasp or mastery of their reading and math skills.
Only about a third of the nation's
eighth-graders were at proficient or above in math and reading. Among
fourth graders, the results were slightly better in reading and in math,
about two in five scored proficient or above.
And the report found a continuing achievement gap between white and black students.
