School grades plummeted as Pat Ryan put unions first

Endless Covid lockdowns, which extreme House Democrats like Pat Ryan supported, pummeled middle and elementary school test scores,“demonstrating the far-reaching effects of education changes during the pandemic” according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress.

Inside the numbers:

• The decline in math scores last year was the biggest in the past 50 years.
• The lowest-performing students scored at levels last recorded in the 1970s, when the assessment began.
• Scores declined among all racial and ethnic groups, and among both male and female students, and across urban, suburban, and rural areas.

While New York children were falling behind, Ryan took $20,000 in 2022 from teachers’ unions that were keeping schools closed.

“The cost of Pat Ryan’s obedience was cheap for the corrupt teachers’ unions. But the price for New York’s children may mean the American Dream is even further out of reach.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Savannah Viar
