The 2025 State of the American Student report from the Center on Reinventing Public Education reveals the depth of America’s worsening math crisis. Math achievement has been falling for more than a decade, and today’s gaps are the widest on record. With evidence-based instruction, bold staffing strategies, transparent accountability, and flexible pathways, all students can be prepared for Algebra by 8th grade. The report shows that this crisis is solvable, and CRPE wanted to drive this message home with an interactive web report that calls out success stories and action items to combat falling math grades.
