Student test scores on the North Coast remain stagnant

Students in Clatsop County and across Oregon are still struggling to recover from pandemic-era learning loss, according to the latest Oregon State Assessment System scores.

The state Department of Education released results for all school districts on Thursday. Students in third-through-eighth grades and in 11th grade are tested each spring in math and language arts, although testing was waived for two years during the coronavirus pandemic. Students in fifth, eighth and 11th grades are tested in science.
