<p>The Department of Education just released results of the quadrennial National Assessment of Educational Progress tests in U.S. history, civics and geography given in 2018 to thousands of American eighth-graders: &#8220;Grade 8 Students&#8217; NAEP Scores Decline in Geography and U.S. History; Results in Civics Unchanged Since 2014.&#8221;</p>
<p>The tests were administered from January to March 2018 to a nationally representative sample of 42,700 eighth-graders from about 780 schools. The news is not very good. Only 24% of students performed at or above the &#8220;proficient&#8221; level in civics. Worse yet, only 15% scored proficient or above in American history and 25% were proficient in geography. At least 25% of America&#8217;s eighth-graders are what NAEP defines as &#8220;below basic&#8221; in U.S. history, civics and geography. That means they have no understanding of historical and civic issues and cannot point out basic locations on a map.</p>
