May 31, 2009— The Virginian-Pilot —“U.S. Students Fare Poorly in Biosciences”
Researchers evaluated student performance using four already available measuring tools: the average life sciences score by eighth- graders on the National Assessment of Educational Progress test; the percentage of Advanced Placement biology students scoring a 3 or higher on the AP exam; the percentage of ACT-tested students ready for college-level biology; and average math scores on the SAT and ACT. The report made the following findings: 52 percent of 12th-graders are at or above a basic level of achievement in the sciences as measured by the NAEP science test. Average scores on the NAEP for 12th-graders in the sciences and life sciences declined from 1996 to 2005.
