Student Educational Progress Shows Modest Gains

National Center for Educational Statistics

Enrollment in America's elementary and secondary schools continues to rise to all-time highs, and our younger learners continue to show gains in educational achievement over time. The overall achievement levels of secondary school students have not risen over time, but we do see some increases in the percentage of students entering college after high school and earning a postsecondary credential, according to The Condition of Education 2009 report released today by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
