UNITED STATES. Gray: As schools nationwide continue to struggle with service delivery amid the resurgence of the virus spread, parents are left wondering about the long-term effects on their children’s academic achievement and mental health. Not-for-profit research-based NWEA (formerly known as the Northwest Evaluation Association) reports in the Collaborative for Student Growth Brief dated November 2020, that US student math achievement in fall 2020 was down as much as 10 percentile points across grade levels as compared to fall 2019 scores, while mental health professionals are reporting an increase in anxiety and depression among youth worldwide.
