Mississippi and Alabama student test scores are rebounding
SUMMARY: New data from Harvard and Stanford universities shows that test scores among American students are slowly rebounding after suffering educational loss during the pandemic. The annual test data from 30 states indicated an improvement in reading and math scores for the first time since the pandemic. Alabama was the only state where math scores exceeded pre-pandemic levels, while Mississippi, Louisiana, and Illinois surpassed their 2019 reading levels. Overall, the data suggests a positive trend in test scores, indicating potential recovery from the pandemic’s educational impact.

SUMMARY: Today’s First Alert Weather Kid is Anna Catherine (6/17). Katherine submitted today’s drawing, which shows rain falling with a person standing outside. The person’s umbrella appears to have blown away, and they look surprised, saying, “Oh no!” Many can relate to this scene, especially after the heavy rainfall that moved through yesterday. Thank you, Katherine, for your photo submission. You can submit your own pictures just like Katherine did. Stay tuned for more updates on the rest of the week’s weather on the other side of the break.
