COVID-19 Impacts on Learning and Well-Being

This infographic summarizes the results of research examining the changes in learning patterns experienced by students in grades 3–8 in California and South Carolina. Using results from winter 2020–21 interim assessments, we provide an up-to-date picture of the learning lag students have experienced during the pandemic. Students in both states exhibited slightly more learning lag in ELA than in Math. Students who are economically disadvantaged and English learners exhibited more learning lag in both ELA and Math in California, and in ELA in South Carolina. In California, Black and Latinx students exhibited more learning lag in both subjects. In South Carolina, Black and Latinx students exhibited more learning lag in ELA. We also highlight findings from a well-being student survey collected during the 2020–21 school year.

COVID-19 Impacts on Student Learning: Evidence from Interim Assessments in California

We used data from interim assessments to examine how the rate of student learning from fall 2019 through winter 2020–21 differed from that of student learning before COVID-19 for approximately 100,000 students in grades 4-8 across 19 local education agencies in California. Results showed that students experienced approximately 2.5 months of learning lag on average in math and ELA, with more substantial learning lag for students who are economically disadvantaged, English Learners, and Latinx.

Student Well-Being and Learning Conditions During the Pandemic: Evidence from the CORE Districts

We drew on data from the CORE Districts' Student Well-Being and Learning Conditions Survey, given to 32,000 students in Grades 4–12 from three districts at the beginning of the 2020–21 school year and to 15,000 students again a few months later. We examined patterns in responses by student characteristics, the connection between well-being and academic performance, and changes in students' responses from fall to winter.
